| Herzum and Sims have made important contributions to the
software industry through sharing their experience building enterprise systems with the
OMG and the annual OOPSLA Business Object Component Workshop. In this latest book, they
provide a ground-breaking view of the most recent concepts on component architecture,
implementation, and deployment for software development teams. Recommended.

| Probably the most confusing term in the IT
industry today is components. Like many terms in the field, it has been used and abused to
refer to dozens of different, overlapping concepts. This is unfortunate, primarily because
for the first time we have a term that can apply to the software nirvana of construction
from (perhaps off-the-shelf) parts, without any reference to the underlying implementation
technology such as objects. Herzum and Sims do an admirable job of differentiating the
different component concepts, allowing this clearly-written book to focus on the
construction of business systems by non-software practitioners, out of business component
parts developed separately (and perhaps for a commodity component marketplace). This is
the future of software systems, and this book is a practical, giant step in that
direction.

| Finally, a book that takes you from component design all
the way down to the middleware on which they are deployed. It's an important contribution
to the nascent server-side component discipline written by practitioners for
practitioners.

| The authors take their years of experience to
provide a well thought out recipe for building large-scale distributed systems. You will
come away from this book with an understanding of how to design and construct software in
the large.

| This book is a fundamental breakthrough in the
understanding of what Component Based Development is all about. Very broad in coverage yet
thorough, this book is a must to read for both information technology and independent
software vendor practitioners.
