AOP is about crosscutting structure. Grasp that, and it's clear what direction AOP tools must follow. Dr. Dobb's.

Whether focused on AOP generality, utility, or functionality, one may encounter some false concepts that get in the way. Dr. Dobb's.

History shows that to be widely adopted, new programming paradigms must be expressive, efficient, intuitive, compatible, with good tool support. Dr. Dobb's.

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.

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.
