RE: [VB4Linux-Dev] Erm... I hate subjects... ;-P

[Abhijit P. <abh...@ma...>]

it is always better to break the project into smaller modules. Sure, it does
need you to think about interoperatibility; which can be solved thro'
meticulous planning, but then the advantage is that the bugs in the program
are localized....plus things can be worked upon/upgraded independently
without affecting other things and introducing newer bugs in the software.

I feel one big program is more trouble than few small programs.
I recommend modular approach.
