Since I'm still in the early stages of learning to program (past the "durr what are for loops" stage, but still not good at a language), I've found that it's nearly impossible to really plan anything out.

I can plan out what I'll put stuff in and the names of the classes and methods that'll work with data, but I'm clueless until I start trying to implement the idea.

I suspect that once I've done enough things, it'll be easier to plan. I know when I go back to any of my old C# projects, I keep slapping my forehead and am able to see other (often better) solutions.

So I think the better advice is: Try until you know what you're doing, then toss it out and plan around all the terrible mistakes you made.

Quoting myself: You can only plan what you know of, and it's not much at first but it's something. :-)
