Embedded developers are discovering the benefits of aspect-oriented programming. Java programmers using the Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) integrated development environment will now be able to take advantage of AspectJ, a Java implementation of aspect-oriented programming developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). AspectJ builds on the Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT) framework. AspectJ lets developers implement features like security enforcement. It can also implement features like system logging and error handling that cross the Java class hierarchy.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
