Re: [aspectj-users] Announcing the release of the AspectJ Cookbook
|
To both you Russ, and the folks that brought us Eclipse AspectJ (to
whom this note is late in coming): Congratulations. Authoring is time
consuming, difficult, and sometimes feels thankless (I would know!).
However, it is an invaluable contribution to the community. AspectJ now
has 6 books to its name! It's important, also, to keep the books
flowing, especially as the community's understanding of AOD and AOP
grows and changes over time. Hats off to you all.

Hi everyone,
I've been putting off the announcement because of delays at
Amazon.co.uk getting copies but now that everything seems sorted I'd
like to let you all know that my book, the AspectJ Cookbook
(O'Reilly), is now available at
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/aspectjckbk/index.html and
http://www.aspectjcookbook.com.
In many ways it's a strange cookbook because it works you right
through from getting started with AspectJ to advanced issues like
design patterns (traditionally Cookbooks are pitched at roughly the
same level throughout) but that was actually the aim; to give everyone
a great reference for those beginner to advanced day-to-day AspectJ
coding problems. At least that's how I use the book :)
Definitely not a definitive look at the theory of aspect orientation
(the cookbook format is not there to hit the theoretical button
really), my book is about getting to the code as quickly as possible
in a "no fuss, just stuff" kind of style. I hope my book will sit
alongside the other great books on AspectJ as a complimentary way of
mastering the language; that's certainly how it sits on my desk next
to Mastering AspectJ, AspectJ in Action and hopefully the new book
from the IBM folks as soon as Amazon gets in gear.
Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that helped out while I
was writing the book. Especially to Ramnivas Laddad (thanks for the
coffee and excellent advice!), George Harley and of course Adrian
Colyer. People like you make this a great community to be involved; if
only every open source project could be so lucky.
Cheers and looking forward to doing my bit for AOSD and AspectJ in
2005!
