A good book for component based design

This book is somewhat brief and high level, but it does a good job describing how components should interact within the enterprise. It is also gives a good description on how to define component interfaces.

Very High Level View of CBD

The book is well written and well organized but does not go into much detail. The book can be read quickly and gives a good high level view of component-based design. It does not offer rigorous definitions of the elements of CBD nor practical guidelines for factoring a design into components and services. It is certainly not "definitive". The book by Herzum and Sims is a better source for architects and developers.

Good insights for cbd in the enterprise

My primary goal to read the book was to find out more about components, especially how to design EJB components for the enterprise. The author explains very well what a component is, the importance of component specifications, and how to apply component techniques. The book is not specific to any component infrastructure. It covers COM as well as EJBs. I liked the detailed cbd modeling example at the end of the book as well as the author's list of useful resources on enterprise-scale application development.

It's great book

There are a lot of books discussing component-based development, but this is the first book I've read that details a complete methodology for making CBD work. I believe that professionals experts in distributed system development will recognize many of the practices, design principles, approaches, and simple common sense that they have applied in the past
