Source code used in these blog posts is available on GitHub <https://github.com/mgroves/PostSharp5> The last consulting gig I was at, we were required to use an SOA framework to interact with enterprise-level data. This framework was SOA almost entirely in name only, completely home-grown, and was something of a misguided &quot;pet project&quot; of the chief of IT, insecure, built on some shaky technologies, and was created to solve a problem that was either non-existent, or solvable by much simpler means.

Say NO! to Notepad with declarative logging + log analytics(gibraltarsoftware.com)

submitted by jcincotta(341) 2 years, 7 months ago

One of the classic uses of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is to automate logging.
