In Component Software, Second Edition, Clemens Szyperski has updated his definitive guide to software component technologies, their technical and business value, and their most effective use. Building on the book that earned the prestigious Software Development Magazine 1999 Jolt Award for Product Excellence, Szyperski has added thorough coverage of today's most compelling component-related technologies, including Enterprise JavaBeans, .NET, XML, and SOAP. He presents a unique blend of market and technology coverage, broad and fair coverage of all current component technologies, as well as a deep discussion of the key challenges faced by component developers, and the most effective solutions. The book has been updated throughout, with new and revised material on CORBA, COM+, XML, BizTalk, the state of the component market, standards, and more -- including an insightful preview of the future. The First Edition's Java and Component Pascal examples are updated and supplemented with new C# examples; and many key topics are now illuminated by UML class diagrams. For all software architects, developers, and project managers seeking to use software components more effectively -- now, and in the future.
