What is this all about, anyway?
Dynamic linking is a way to extend a program in run time, rather then build time.
This ability can be used to create modular programs, which are built from several components that are combined in run time to create the running executable.
The process is technically not unlike static linking, which is done at build time, but it pose certain added complexities and opportunities, some of which we will discuss today.
