About the book ...

[Krishan Leekha]

Hi Ramnivas,
I recently started learning a bit about Aspect Oriented Programming, and just know about AspectJ that it is a general-purpose aspect-oriented extension to Java, for addressing the crosscutting concerns of Object Oriented Languages. I have some doubts before I myself refer to this book, and subsequently refer this to my colleagues.And I could not have found anyone better to answer those doubts except the writer himself :-)
A.What are the prerequisite of this book?
B.Does this book touch base on why and where we should use AOP?
C.Does this book explain about defining aspects in general (with some practical examples), or it just talks about handling aspects using AspectJ?
I hope I am sounding clear, as I am still new to AOP terminology.

Krishan,
In addition to TOC pointed by Pradeep (thanks, Pradeep), I suggest that you read "About the book" section that talks about the prerequisite: http://www.manning.com/getpage.html?project=laddad&filename=about.html

Thanks a lot Ramnivas and Pradeep.
It gives me fairly good idea about the book, I do have some other doubts about AOP, which I will try to find in another thread or will post if could not get clarification.
