CUJ>The CORBA Component Model: Part 1, Evolving Towards Component Middleware This column is the first in a series that focuses on the CORBA Component Model (CCM). It first outlines the evolution of programming abstractions from subroutines to modules, objects, and components. Then it describes how this evolution has largely been mirrored in middleware, from message passing to remote procedure calls and from distributed objects to component middleware. Finally the article discusses the limitations of distributed object computing (DOC) middleware that motivate the need for component middleware in general and the CORBA Component Model (CCM). http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=9039/cujexp0402vinoski/
Extractions: Print-Friendly Version C/C++ Users Journal February 2004 In the early days of computing, software was developed from scratch to achieve a particular goal on a specific hardware platform. Since computers were then much more expensive than the cost to program them, scant attention was paid to systematic software reuse and composition of applications from existing software artifacts. Over the past four decades, the following two trends have spurred the transition from hardware-centric to software-centric development paradigms: A common theme underlying the evolution of software development paradigms is the desire for reuse; for instance, to compose and customize applications from preexisting software building blocks. Modern software development paradigms, such as object-oriented, component-based, and generative technologies, aim to achieve this common goal but differ in the type(s) and granularity of building blocks that form the core of each paradigm. The development and the evolution of middleware technologies also follow a similar goal of capturing and reusing design information learned in the past, within various layers of software.

Extractions: General-purpose programming language refers to a type of computer programming language suitable for most ordinary computer applications. This would include any language that supports all of the following constructs: This is the minimum necessary for a language to be useful for general purpose applications.
