| assembling functionality from components." While programming will notg

| delivering excellence. "Assembling, buying, and extracting is an
| increasing part of what you need to do," he said. To be more agile
| and responsive, application development managers have to manipulate,
| orchestrate, and compose new business processes, using resources
| available from outside partners, third-party applications, Web services,
| and existing code components. Veccio asked, "Why would you ever code an
