• I Want My AOP Series of 3 articles, with code samples, on how Aspect-Oriented Programming helps separate concerns and improves maintainability and flexibility. JavaWorld.
• Once More, From the Top What is AOP? How is it used? The basics are worth repeating, as are the realities that counter persistent misconceptions. Dr. Dobb's.
• The New Modularity Aspects open up new possibilities for previously locked-down parts of platforms. Dr. Dobb's.
• Thinking Aspects The biggest impact has begun: like object-oriented programming before it, AOP is changing the way to think about elements of software systems. Dr. Dobb's.
• Show Me the Structure AOP is about crosscutting structure. Grasp that, and it's clear what direction AOP tools must follow. Dr. Dobb's.
• The Key to AOP History shows that to be widely adopted, new programming paradigms must be expressive, efficient, intuitive, compatible, with good tool support. Dr. Dobb's.
• Testing the Waters With new tools emerging, and buzz rising, it's time to start working with AOP; a plan to do so, in 4 simple steps. Dr. Dobb's.
• Double Decker Two new books explore what it's like to build enterprise applications with aspects and offer a methodology to design AOP-implemented systems. Dr. Dobb's.
• The Case for Aspects AOP can finally advance beyond code-level constructs to realize true cross-cutting visibility for models. It’s taken 25 years, but now programming is on the cusp of a powerful new paradigm linking aspects and use cases. Dr. Dobb's.
• Common Misconceptions Whether focused on AOP generality, utility, or functionality, one may encounter some false concepts that get in the way. Dr. Dobb's.
• It's Not Metaprogramming AOP was a move away from explicit metaprogramming to a direct semantics for coding crosscutting concerns. But metaprogramming can still be useful, if kept under control. Dr. Dobb's.
• Palpable Progress From the podium to the hallways, the 3rd annual Aspect-Oriented Software Development Conference, Lancaster, England, was filled with the energy of commercial adopters. Dr. Dobb's.
• The AOP Report Card AOP training and tool support are key issues for future growth. Dr. Dobb's.
