Abstract

In some sense, all software is made up of its component parts, typically modules and lines of code (see MODULAR PROGRAMMING). But the idea of being able to build complex software from ready-made modules of reusable code has long bedeviled software developers. The difficulty is not in writing code good enough to be reused, but rather in how modular to make it and in how to store and classify code so that another programming might find and reuse it.
