What to Include in a Template
The first step in creating a base template is deciding what to include. The purpose of an application template is to provide the core services that an application is likely to require, but that do not in themselves warrant inclusion in the main application design documentation. The code that makes up the template will in most cases be relevant to many types of application. Some routines will not be needed right from the start, but it is wise to include any routines that might be of use as the project progresses. This section offers a general guide.
