For those of you who don’t yet subscribe to .NET Rocks! and its training video counterpart, dnrTV, you’re missing out on some wonderfully entertaining and informative talk shows.
Since 2002, Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell have been speaking with guests about programming in Microsoft .NET and, after nearly 650 episodes, show no signs of slowing down.
Gael was invited to be on .NET Rocks! in early February but, due to a bad phone line, he had to reschedule. Luckily both he and Carl attended this year’s NYC Code Camp, where they could finally sit down and record face-to-face. Or so he thought…
Listen to the first few minutes of the podcast to learn how Carl and Richard were finally able to record the show with Gael. Then, after you’ve had a good chuckle, continue listening to the podcast to learn more about programming with aspects.
Listen to the podcast: https://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=640
Highlights include:
10:32 – What is an aspect?
12:10 – Using PostSharp for more than just Tracing and Logging
14:12 – Why having a bug in your aspect is safer than in the implementation of the manual line
20:20 – Two multithreading issues that can be solved using aspects
25:41 – Richard’s favorite example of AOP
36:43 – Static versus Dynamic AOP
40:08 – What’s next for PostSharp
Show the Code.
Gael also recorded a PostSharp demonstration with Carl on dnrTV. The shows on dnrTV are equally as entertaining as those on .NET Rocks! but with one very important difference: the code!
In this webcast-like format, guests are able to demonstrate technical topics in greater detail. That’s exactly what you’ll see in the recording with Gael as he dives deep into PostSharp – showing both common and advanced aspect usage.
Watch the recording: https://dnrtv.com/dnrtvplayer/player.aspx?ShowNum=0190
Highlights include:
02:10 – TraceArgumentsAspect : OnExceptionAspect
13:47 – TracePerformanceAspect : OnMethodBoundaryAspect
23:15 – CacheAttribute : MethodInterceptionAspect
45:57 – Undo/Redo
Special thanks to Carl and Richard for inviting Gael as a guest on both shows. And many thanks to all of you who watched the shows and provided feedback. Keep it coming.
Happy PostSharping!
