REST. Tech Talk: Linus Torvalds on git. Aspect-oriented programming. Programming paradigm AOP includes programming methods and tools that support the modularization of concerns at the level of the source code, while aspect-oriented software development refers to a whole engineering discipline. History[edit] Gregor Kiczales and colleagues at Xerox PARC developed the explicit concept of AOP and followed this with the AspectJ AOP extension to Java. IBM's research team pursued a tool approach over a language design approach and in 2001 proposed Hyper/J and the Concern Manipulation Environment, which have not seen wide usage.
The examples in this article use AspectJ. The Microsoft Transaction Server is considered to be the first major application of AOP followed by Enterprise JavaBeans.[3][4] Motivation and basic concepts[edit] Typically, an aspect is scattered or tangled as code, making it harder to understand and maintain. For example, consider a banking application with a conceptually very simple method for transferring an amount from one account to another:[5] MIT sketching. The Software Life Cycle.
