Art of Software Reuse
http://www.artofsoftwarereuse.com
I am a software development team leader building reusable data services and business process automation components. I have worked on several software projects ranging from single user systems to large, distributed, multi-user platforms with several services. My recent projects have been exclusively focused on building reusable software services accessed on-demand and in an event driven manner.
Long fascinated with software reuse I have gone through both success and failure trying to achieve it. This blog is my attempt at sharing these ideas and experiences as well as educate and learn from folks who practice software development every day.
