About this title

From the Back Cover

This book introduces the key principles of component-based development (CBD) that need to be understood in order to adopt a component-based model of software development, and explains the benefits of adopting such an approach for an organization. It guides the reader through the program-planning process, and outlines the need-to-know issues in designing and assembling components.

Software developers, architects and IT project managers will learn how to spring-board over to using a component-based approach, and discover the organizational issues affecting its adoption.

Key features of the book include:

• Insights into component characteristics, and how they are defined and scoped
• Consideration of the software architecture and infrastructure within which components can operate effectively
• Practical advice on building and assembling components
• A case study showing the highs and lows experienced by a finance company that is evolving its software development to a component-based approach, using CORBA, to introduce call centers and internet-based systems.
