[Phpwm] First Steps in designing.

[Serzin, Tony]

For our major projects we've adopted an object oriented approach and we're
using the UML for the analysis and design stages.

A good starting point for looking at UML with PHP is

I thought I'd ask what other folks' approach to designing a reasonably 
complex application such as an ecommerce site was.

I start by putting pen to paper and scrawling diagram after diagram, but I 
still find further on down the line that I have to redo a lot of stuff that 
I have failed to plan correctly.

Is this because I'm crap at planning, or do other folk have similar 
occurences? :)
Has anyone got any good links to resources on software engineering, that 
might be a good start!
