SOURCE: AJPO ******************************************************** THE POLITICS OF REUSE Topic: Reuse Tony Baer, in his article in the January 1997 issue of Software Magazine, asserts that software reuse will not reach its full potential until programmers start reusing business logic. Software Reuse often utilizes skillsets not always available in development organizations. A team approach and a clear breakdown of responsibilities are essential. Developers can help others locate reusable components or objects by creating clear documentation. Without the commitment of adequate resources, these full benefits of reuse may not be possible.
