Synopsis

The author describes his book as a "unique blend of market and technology coverage, broad and fair coverage of current technologies and a deep discussion of real problems with their solutions where known".

The first edition won the "Jolt Award" became the leading book on the market to combine explanations of what the key technologies are, how to use them and why they are important in the software market-place, and look at these in terms of both the technical and business issues. The book was also the first to define components and clarify the key questions surrounding them, show how they are key to software design and offer a historical overview of their development.

Component Software

Beyond Object-Oriented Programming

Second Edition

Clemens Szyperski

with Dominik Gruntz and Stephan Murer

There has been an explosive growth in component software technologies since the first edition of this classic book was published. The advent of EJB, J2EE, CORBA 3, COM+ and the .NET framework are evidence of a maturing market in component software that goes "beyond OOP".

Clemens Szyperski gives us an objective survey of the component landscape, blended with unique insights into the market forces that influence deployment and in-depth coverage of real problems and their solutions.

Highlights of the Second Edition include

• A comprehensive update of market-leading technologies including COM+, CORBA, EJB and J2EE
• New sections evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of emerging technologies like .NET, the CORBA Component Model, XML Web Services, showing how they work together with components and XML-related standards
• New examples in C# in addition to Java and Component Pascal

Component Software, Second Edition

will help software developers, architects, CTOs and system integrators to understand both the technical issues and the market dynamics that underlie component software.

Clemens Szyperski joined Microsoft Research at Redmond, Washington in 1999 to continue his work on component software. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and a Masters in electrical engineering from Aachen University of Technology, Germany. As a co-founder of Oberon microsystems, Inc., Switzerland, he was involved in BlackBox Component Builder, one of the first development environments for component-oriented programming. He is a frequent speaker at industrial and academic events; has served on the program committees of many premier conferences, including ICSE, OOPSLA and ECOOP, as well as a referee for national research funding bodies in many countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the U.S. He is also the author of numerous articles and several books.

For the new edition, he has invited contributions to the Java chapter from Dominik Gruntz, professor of software architecture and design at the Northwestern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in Aargau, and to the OMG chapter from Stephan Murer, Chief Information Systems Architect at Crédit Suisse Financial Services in Zurich.
