>Customizing Your Vertical Market App:
>
>Writing a vertical market application can be very rewarding. You write one
>application, sell it numerous times, and sit back while the money rolls in.
>Well, that's the theory anyway. The reality is that often times, new clients
>want to buy your software, as long as you can change this one little thing.
>Managing custom code for various clients within your application can easily
>turn into a nightmare as your client base expands. This session shows you
>how to implement a customization methodology in your vertical market
>application that keeps your standard code independent from your custom code,
>yet have the two code bases play nice together.
