T5: Advanced Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectJ

Presenters:
  - Erik Hilsdale, Palo Alto Research Center
  - Wes Isberg

Date: Tuesday, March 18, morning (half day)

Level: Advanced

Attendees should have experience doing object-oriented design and implementation and should have already experimented with AspectJ. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop computers if possible, but a laptop is not required for attendance.

Abstract:

This tutorial will provide involved hands-on programming exercises that both use some of AspectJ's advanced features, and feature AspectJ used in advanced contexts. We will show how AspectJ can be used to solve problems in instrumentation (including logging), testing, quality management, and feature management. In addition, advanced parts of the AspectJ design and implementation will be introduced, along with discussions of possible future features. Exercises will use the core AspectJ tools and IDEs.

AspectJ is freely available at http://eclipse.org/aspectj/.
