Your own reusable framework is by no means perfect for every project that you work on but it is a great starting point and it can evolve over time.

This post looks at the current framework I have in place and breaks it down. Please feel free to reuse this as you see fit and also point out anything that you feel would be beneficial to add (or remove).
