Abstract
Component-based programming and scripting support a style of rapid prototyping program development where reusable off-the-shelf software components are glued together to build new applications. One of the reasons of Visual Basic’s popularity is its ability to script ‘ready made’ GUI components in a fancy development environment. Since all the hard work is done inside the components, not only professional programmers but also end-users are able to create non-trivial applications in a short period of time.
