Abstract: A computer controlled object oriented programming system for distributive program development over networks such as the internet with means for interfacing a plurality of programming objects with each other to provide combination objects combining programming functions of said objects, each object including predetermined interface data defining a required common interface with the other programming objects as well as a framework of events and attributes and methods for manipulating the attributes. These objects may be combined with each other via their common interfaces to form combination objects, and such combination objects may in turn be further combined with other objects and combination objects to form objects of increasing complexity which function as program routine versions.

Abstract: A computer controlled object oriented programming system for interfacing a plurality of programming objects with each other to provide combination objects combining programming functions of the objects, each object including predetermined interface data defining a required common interface with the other programming objects in a framework of events, attributes and methods for manipulating the attributes. These objects may be combined with each other via their common interfaces to form combination objects and such combination objects may in turn be further combined with other objects and combination objects to form objects of increasing complexity which function as complete programs. There is provided a displayable output of documentation for the programming objects in which the basic documentation provided for an object oriented program by its developers may be added to or modified without the need to change the framework of the objects in the program.
