| This programming guide describes the AspectJ language. A | |
| companion guide describes the tools which are part of the | |
| AspectJ development environment. | |
| </p><p> | |
| If you are completely new to AspectJ, you should first read | |
| <a href="starting.html">Getting Started with AspectJ</a> for a broad overview of programming | |
| in AspectJ. If you are already familiar with AspectJ, but want a deeper | |
| understanding, you should read <a href="language.html">The AspectJ Language</a> and | |
| look at the examples in the chapter. If you want a more formal | |
| definition of AspectJ, you should read <a href="semantics.html">Semantics</a>. | |
