Others may differ.  I think you should just write the code.  In actually
doing that you will learn the pitfalls of how you have divided up your
logic.  Writing code isn't all theory.  It takes practice, and since the
days of The Mythical Man-Month, it has been well understood that you always
end up throwing away the first system anyway.  It has to be built to truly
understand what you think you want to create, but in the learning, you
realize that its easier and better to start more or less from scratch
rather than try to fix the first concept.
