This might be a primitive question but I really like to get more information. I have seen many professional programs have a splash screen and during that a progress bar and some text indicating that program is loading…
I want to know what CAN or SHOULD be loaded during such time? Do they load classes or something? I am noob and do not know what requires loading before a program actually starts.
In summary, yes. They load classes.
If the program’s design is modular enough, the outer shell can be small enough to run almost immediately on most devices (think mobile phones here) and display a progress bar while loading behavior (features provided by external modules, assemblies in C#) in the background.
However, that’s not always the best approach to program loading. If your user interface can be up and running in less than five seconds on a typical client machine, it may not even be worth a progress bar.
