Abstract:
In this session we're going to take a look at what Aspect Orientated Programming is about and how it allows us to provide a clear separation of concerns when developing applications. We will also see how to use AOP in .NET by first understanding how it can easily be implemented and then looking at existing frameworks that allow us to use AOP in much more productive way.
