Dean Wampler's Blog

This is my inaugural blog hosted on my own web sites. My previous blogs can be found "here":http://jroller.com/page/deanwampler. My article on "Contract4J":http://contract4j.org went live on Tuesday, April 11 at IBM's "developerWorks":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-aopwork17.html. In the article, I introduce Design by Contract and describe how Contract4J supports DbC in Java, using AspectJ under the hood. I end the article with a discussion of the emerging trends in aspect-oriented design using interfaces. That is, how the familiar interface-based design we're used to in OOP is being extended to support aspects. I intend to explore Aspect-Oriented Design in more detail in coming blogs. Please stay tuned!
