This book supplies comprehensive coverage of the principles, practice, and paradigm of component-oriented development and assembly. The first part provides the conceptual foundation for component-oriented software. Part II focuses on the various standard Java component models and describes how to develop a component-oriented system using these component models. Part III covers the various aspects of the component-oriented development paradigm. The text focuses on component oriented software development from a technical concepts perspective, designer's perspective, programmer's perspective, and manager's perspective.
