I’m speaking on Aquarium this Monday night (Oct. 1st). Details are here. David Chelimsky will also be talking about new developments in RSpec and RBehave.

At the Dec. 3 Chirb meeting, the two of us are reprising our Agile 2007 tutorial Ruby’s Secret Sauce: Metaprogramming.

Please join us!

I’m doing a tutorial on aspect-oriented design principles with examples in Java and AspectJ at OOPSLA this year (October 21st). You can find a description here. I believe Friday, 9/14, is the last day for early, discounted registration, so sign up now!

A short presentation on the same subject can be found here.

I’m giving a talk at the Chicago Java User’s Group West meeting this Thursday at 6:30 PM. The topic is Aspect-Oriented Programming and Software Design in Java and AspectJ. I’ll briefly describe the problems that AOP addresses and how the principles of object-oriented design influence AOP and vice versa. If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there.
