Matt is a developer with over 10 years of professional experience in education, consulting, and product development. He concentrates on web applications, using C# with ASP.NET, JavaScript, and PHP.
His new book Aspect Oriented Programming in .NET from Manning Publications debuts in June and we’ve put together a 5-part webinar series that will give you a taste of the practical aspect-oriented programming insights found in his book and a variety of real-world coding examples as implemented by PostSharp.

SCHEDULE:
1) You May Already Be Using AOP
Thursday, May 2nd at 9:00 AM PDT |12:00 PM EDT | 4:00 PM GMT
Learn the basics of Aspect-Oriented Programming and see live coding examples of AOP frameworks that come with ASP.NET. We will also look at how to write a simple PostSharp aspect using a pattern that is similar to the ASP.NET framework.
2) Call This Instead: Intercepting Methods
Thursday, May 9th at 9:00 AM PDT |12:00 PM EDT | 4:00 PM GMT
One of the most common types of aspect is the method interception aspect, which runs a piece of code instead of the intended method. In this episode, we will look at a real-world application of the method interception aspect that can help with data transactions.
3) Before and After: Boundary Aspects
Thursday, May 16th at 9:00 AM PDT| 12:00 PM EDT | 4:00 PM GMT
A PostSharp method boundary aspect can execute code at its borders (e.g. before a method, after a method, on exception). In this episode, we will look at a real-world application of a method boundary aspect to help with caching.
4) Under the Hood of a Post-Compiler
Thursday, May 23rd at 9:00 AM PDT| 12:00 PM EDT | 4:00 PM GMT
The details of how a post-compiler like PostSharp works can be complex, but it's important to have a basic understanding of what's happening in order to make an informed decision about where and when to use it. In this episode, we will look at how to decompile a .NET assembly and view code with/without a PostSharp aspect with ILSpy.
5) Unit Testing and Thin Aspects
Thursday, May 30th at 9:00 AM PDT| 12:00 PM EDT | 4:00 PM GMT
The benefits of unit testing are numerous. When aspects are involved, keeping those aspects "thin" is a key to keeping your code easy to unit test. In the final episode we will explore some of the implications of unit testing when a post-compiler tool is involved.
