This is only partially related to aspect-oriented programming, but Avdi Grimm was nice enough to have me as a guest on the Wide Teams podcast (a podcast about remote work and remote workers). In episode 72, I talk about being a remote developer and I talk about the upcoming book just a little bit.

Chapters 6 and 7 are now available in the MEAP of Aspect-Oriented Programming in .NET.

These chapters really start to compare and contrast compile-time AOP (e.g. PostSharp) with runtime AOP (e.g. Castle DynamicProxy).

Chapter 6 show how AOP affects unit-testing. Until this chapter, it may seem like I have a clear bias in favor of PostSharp, since it has powerful features and is very simple to use. But with that power comes a cost, and since PostSharp performs its weaving at compile time, it's more difficult to test than Castle DynamicProxy.

However, it's still possible, and chapter 6 shows you some options for doing it.

Up until chapter 7, I've been showing you how to use AOP. In chapter 7, we'll take a short peek under the hood, to how the two approaches work, and the implications of using each approach.
