A tip that I thought was good advice from the Embedded Systems Conference.
When you are doing  a project build by features, rather than the more common 
methods.

After you have the underlying infrastructure of a project built you start 
adding features one at a time.  Each feature is worked on until it is 100% 
complete.  This means that you can ship the project at any time, tho
it may not do much at the start of the feature list.  The common alternative 
development method is usually a lot of half done 'stuff' that has lots of 
bugs.

Myself I'd start with the File/Load feature...

A good requirements list is always good to have at the start of the project as 
well.

The best kind.
