| <p>It is time to move from AOP theory and toy examples to AOP practice and real applications. |
| With this unique book you can make that move. It teaches you AOP concepts, the AspectJ language, |
| and how to develop industrial-strength systems. It shows you examples which you can reuse. |
| It unleashes the true power of AOP through unique patterns of AOP design. When you are done, |
| you will be eager-and able-to build new systems, and enhance your existing ones, with the help of AOP. |

| (456 pages, March 2003, Wiley) |
| by Joseph Gradecki and Nicholas Lesiecki |
| </p> |
| <p>Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) promises to increase the power of OO applications by |
| modularizing functionality that cuts across classes (such as logging, transaction management, |
| design patterns, and security). If your application has this type of functionality, |
| you can benefit from using AspectJ, an AOP language that is a seamless extension to Java.</p> |
| <p> |
| In this code-intensive book, the authors present a detailed overview of the concepts of AOP and |
| AspectJ, and take you step-by-step through the process of building an application. </p> |

| Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectJ</a> (covers AspectJ 1.0x)</p> |
| <p>In a November 2001 Java Pro magazine article, noted Java pundit Daniel Savarese states, |
| "The days of Object-Oriented Programming may be numbered, One day we may all be using Aspect-Oriented Programming ." |
| While this may be hyperbole, the AOP bring certain needed improvements to the OOP. |
| AspectJ is a Java-based tool that allows developers to apply standard Java syntax to AOP principles, |

| There are AspectJ add-ons available for Borland's JBuilder, Sun's Forte for Java and for the EMACS text editor. |
| Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectJ introduces AOP and the AspectJ tool. The book also shows how, |

| Development, by Grady Booch |
| </dt> |
| <dd>"The first time I really grasped the wonderful |
| power of object-oriented abstractions, I thought I'd seen the ultimate model |
| on which all kinds of complex systems could be grown. . . However, I was |
| wrong: There's something deeper, something that's truly beyond objects. |
| Admittedly, this isn't a concept that's easy to explain, because I'm still |
| so steeped in an object-oriented view of the world. However, just as a |
| sailor can sense a changing sea, I note subtle signs that point to a marked |
| transformation, a disruptive technology, on the horizon." |

| 2001 issue of the Technology Review, by Claire Tristram |
| </dt> |
| <dd>"Pity software engineers. With the touch of a |
| button, their programs let us make global fixes in a long text, say, or a |
| spreadsheet, yet programmers often need to correct their own work one |
| tedious line at a time. That irony isn't lost on Gregor Kiczales, principal |
| scientist at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and professor at the |
| University of British Columbia in VancouverÑand he has a fix in mind. |
| Kiczales champions what he calls "aspect-oriented programming," a technique |
| that will allow software writers to make the same kinds of shortcuts that |
| those of us in other professions have been making for years. . ." |

| </dt> |
| <dd>"Aspect-oriented programming is a novel topic in |
| the software engineering and languages communities. AOP appears to have the |
| potential to significantly improve the reliability of programs, particularly |
| by modularizing error-handling policies and allowing for easier maintenance |
| and better reuse. In this article we introduce AspectJ, the first |
| aspect-oriented programming language, and demonstrate how you can use it to |
| construct more reliable software." |

| </dt> |
| <dd>"Abstract: AOP defines a new program construct, |
| called an aspect, which is used to capture corsscutting aspects of a |
| software system in separate program entities. This article is divided into |
| three parts: first, an explanation of the concepts of AOP; second, an |
| introduction to AspectJª, an implementation of the AOP concepts in Java; |
| finally, a comparison of the AOP approach to metalevel programming." |
