Component-Oriented Programming

By Kai Qian and Andy Ju An Wang

A practical, programming-centered approach to component-based software development

Component-oriented programming (COP) is rapidly becoming a mainstream programming paradigm, offering higher reusability and better modular structure with greater flexibility than object-oriented or library-based programming approaches. Component-Oriented Programming offers a unique programming-centered approach to component-based software development that delivers the well-developed training and practices needed to successfully apply this cost-effective method.

Following an overview of basic theories and methodologies, the authors provide a unified component infrastructure for building component software using JavaBeans, EJB, OSGi, CORBA, CCM, .NET, and Web services.

Readers learn how to:

Develop reusable software components Build a software system of pre-built software components Design and implement a component-based software system using various programming-centered approaches

Throughout the text, step-by-step guides and self-review questions for each new component technology encourage hands-on practice. Clear organization and self-testing features make Component-Oriented Programming an ideal textbook for graduate and undergraduate courses in computer science, software engineering, or information technology, as well as a valuable reference for industry professionals.
