A post by MrWB got me to thinking about DLL's and their usefullness. I'm wondering what the benefit is of using DLL's. Also I am wondering how I go about writing and compiling DLL's. Do they use a different syntax/construct to Exe (As I understand it they are the same) and how I go about linking them to an Exe.

I have been out of programming for about 12 months now but am looking forward to returning the the game dev scene. So hello all.
