Gregor Kiczales
Gregor Kiczales is Professor of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. His work is directed at enabling programmers to write programs that, as much as possible, look like their design. ABSTRACT
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is based on a radical exploration of modularity in software development. By presenting new mechanisms that enable better modularization in a number of systems, AOP is driving us to ask fundamental questions about what modularity should mean in our field. In the past, we have tended to think of modularity in terms of hierarchies of crisply defined blocks, where each block or module defines its interface with the...

The result is that we get a scatted and incomplete presentation.

A fantastic overview of AOP concepts that will help align your thinking before jumping into the text books. I don't believe I could have got some of the insights provided by this talk by researching the subject myself.
