<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I’ve been looking at ways to
improve our design process. One of the ways is to use more on Component Oriented
Design. I was impressed with Avalon (a Java application framework) where
they adhere to such COD principles as “Inversion of Control” and “Separation
of Concern”. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">These two principles are helping
me understand the COD way of designing/thinking as opposed to my usual OO
way of seeing the world.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I was wondering if there are
more resources regarding COD patterns or COD principles. Beside Avalon, I
couldn’t find a lot on the web. In fact I couldn’t find anything at all.

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">They only thing that people
are saying is that COD puts emphasis on interfaces (well… duh…) All the
articles seem to be vague, for instance one describes COD as separating behavior
between data and framework (or architecture) as opposed to OO which puts
the behavior solely on the data. That is useful, but it doesn’t go deep into

using COM for a while and C# is supposed to be CO friendly, I was wondering
if people on the list have favorite links that would inform someone on good
Component Oriented Design practices. The two principles I mention above (Inversion
of Control and Separation of Concern”) can’t be the only ones out there,
right?</span></font></p>
