What I usually do in comparable situations is to write STUB code for
the parts of the system that don't work yet.
Write your stub code so that it does nothing, but doesn't raise any
exceptions too. The only thing you then have to do is write the rest
of the code as you would have done, and once the Stubbed parts work,
replace the stub code with the real code.
