Rickard is talking about how to implement domain models in AOP which includes both behaviour and state.
Although some blogs mentioned being tired of AOP from the symposium… this wasn’t the norm.
I had ~40 or 50 people come up to me at the symposium…. all saying that they are going to take a close look at AOP (after the various talks). Even at an event like TSSS, with high caliber people, the majority of people have only heard of the term AOP. A small percentage have really started to play with it.
This actually makes presenting on AOP at this type of event tough. The baseline is across the board. You have people like Sam Pullara in the audience…. and then of course Gregor and Adrian :)
The aim was to spread the word… show people some of the things that you can do, and hopefully they will pick up a book… download a framework… and start to play a little. If that happens, we have a win.

I agree. Everyone is looking for the Killer App.
We tried to show a variety of uses in the enterprise. When taken together we could compare the code between “If you didn’t use AOP” to “If you do use it”. It shows you how much crud you are doing if you don’t abstract it out.
We also showed instance based security, and how AO makes this a LOT nicer.
Adrian Colyer (AspectJ) has gotten some nice use cases too that we will be seeing.
