I finished up chapter 3 today on aspect oriented programming. I have been working for months on my Spring Python book, and now it's time to slug it out with final drafts.
AOP is powerful and yet, due to it's relatively new nature, can be daunting to those who haven't used it before. It was critical that I get the right terms and concepts captured. In the process of editing this draft, I realized my diagrams were inadequate. I couldn't draw fast enough to capture my thoughts and I didn't have the right software tools to capture my thoughts. So I just grabbed some paper and drew them by hand. Then I scanned them in and added them to the chapter. This was the creative juice I was needing. With a few notes sent to my editor I'm sure we can get this hammered out.
