I am attempting to lean how to write a plugin but am having trouble knowing how to work with the Class Reference documentationClass Reference documentation. I understand all of the theory and how object oriented programs work. But I have never actually worked on a real world problem. I have only worked on small programs to learn the concepts.

I am overwhelmed by the Class Reference and don't know best practices for attacking a new project and using the Class Reference documentation. I feel overwhelmed and stuck, and so my question is can an experienced developer or two share some guidance as to their methodology for working with a framework in the real world?

The plugin itself is conceptually simple. I'm working on developing a application similar to tinyurl.com. I need to store data in a database table and then read it back. I also then need to then figure out how to do a redirect.

My main goal is to get the general guidance on how to approach any new project with regard to how to start. Any guidance on the specific problem is also appreciated.

Thank you!

How to use Class Reference Classes within the Craft framework for plugin development
