Overview
The computer industry is facing some serious challenges. Despite advances in computer hardware and operating systems, organizations aren't realizing the full benefit of their information technology investments. Software can't keep up with demands for flexible, distributed solutions that customers can deploy rapidly to meet changing business needs. Taligent addresses this problem with a new approach to software development. A collaborative effort by specialists in many programming areas, the CommonPoint application system provides a comprehensive set of services for rapidly building flexible, portable software solutions. Based on object-oriented programming structures called frameworks, it promises to revolutionize the way software is created and used, especially in networked environments.This book introduces Taligent's system software, the first multiplatform system based on object and framework technology. Through interviews with the staff integral to the formation of Taligent, the book provides insights into Taligent's view of the industry, its object-oriented programming model and approach to frameworks, product deployment plans, and its development tools.
