Joseph thinks AOP is inobvious and makes it hard for the programmer to understand what is going on. I don’t understand why he says that. The first time I read about AOP I was thinking, this is so obvious, why didn’t i think of that before. Just put related code together, with a specification of where and when it should be executed. So clean, so obvious and so easy to understand.
In Joseph’s security example, I would say that AOP makes it all so much easier to understand for the programmer. AOP is great to achieve simple solutions.
