Hello fellow coders :)
I'm thinking of designing an application with an add-on feature, but I have no idea where to start. I don't even know the keyword word to search for. Do you have any book or link that talks about this subject? What should I search for?

Are you thinking of something like add-ons for Firefox, plugins for jEdit, etc? It will depend somewhat on what language you're working with, what language you want the add-ons to be written in, etc.

Modular programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - may be a tough topic though

Thanks Nullw0rm!!! Will start reading.
Yes, WingedPanther! Firefox was the exact example I had in mind. I'm using Java.

For Java, you can have a standard interface that all plugins must implement, and then simply register them to include the .class files. Look at jEdit for an example of how to do this.
