Weekly Concerns: going rogue
Maybe this series will turn into an Every-Other-Weekly Concerns?
- The Ruby Rogues podcast discussed AOP in a recent episode (episode 46). It's a good idea to listen to the whole podcast for context, but they don't really start discussing AOP directly until about 28 minutes in.
- The proxy/decorator pattern gives some of the same benefits that AOP can give you. Derick Bailey blogged about using proxies and decorators in JavaScript.
- A couple of white papers for you:
- FeatureC++ and AOP - What's feature-oriented programming?
- AOP is Quantification and Obliviousness - "obliviousness" often has a negative connotation, but I believe AOP in a team setting on a properly architected application can free up developers to concentrate on adding business value without having function requirements slowing them down
That's it for this week. Have a great weekend.
