    Whats the best way do designs a modular program

    If i wanted to build an app that had a core piece of code which was always running, and then dynamically load and unload other "modules" (for lack of a better name) which preformed all the tasks of the program, what would be the best way to go about doing this. Can someone either point me to a URL or give me some good googling words.

    what you are looking for is called a "plug in architecture" and is typically implemented with dll's as robwhit pointed out.

    If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?
