[aspectj-users] Re: Announcing the release of the AspectJ Cookbook 
Russel:
Last weekend I spent some hours going through the solutions in your book and from what I saw so far I wish I would have had it all the time. I found already a lot of solutions that took me some time figuring out or which I solved in a much less elegant way (and yeah, some still unsolved ones!!!). This looks like a very helpful cookbook. Great work! Great source for solutions! Thanks for the time you have put into that book. 
Andreas
PS: I am big fan of the cookbook idea. Cookbooks and design patterns books are such a valuable source for problem solving.

Hi everyone,
I've been putting off the announcement because of delays at Amazon.co.uk getting copies but now that everything seems sorted I'd like to let you all know that my book, the AspectJ Cookbook (O'Reilly), is now available at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/aspectjckbk/index.html and http://www.aspectjcookbook.com.
In many ways it's a strange cookbook because it works you right through from getting started with AspectJ to advanced issues like design patterns (traditionally Cookbooks are pitched at roughly the same level throughout) but that was actually the aim; to give everyone a great reference for those beginner to advanced day-to-day AspectJ coding problems. At least that's how I use the book :)
Definitely not a definitive look at the theory of aspect orientation (the cookbook format is not there to hit the theoretical button really), my book is about getting to the code as quickly as possible in a "no fuss, just stuff" kind of style. I hope my book will sit alongside the other great books on AspectJ as a complimentary way of mastering the language; that's certainly how it sits on my desk next to Mastering AspectJ, AspectJ in Action and hopefully the new book from the IBM folks as soon as Amazon gets in gear.
Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that helped out while I was writing the book. Especially to Ramnivas Laddad (thanks for the coffee and excellent advice!), George Harley and of course Adrian Colyer. People like you make this a great community to be involved; if only every open source project could be so lucky. 

Cheers and looking forward to doing my bit for AOSD and AspectJ in 2005!
