Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) allows developers to create clearer, cleaner, and more flexible software. AOP makes it possible to centralize code in a single class that typically would be spread across many classes when implementing features such as logging, standards enforcement, security, and testing. This difference allows increased productivity, and results in more flexible and higher quality software.
AspectJ provides a seamless aspect-oriented extension to the Java programming language, including a compiler and support for popular IDE's and other Java development tools. Aspect programs run on standard Java VM's.
Prerequisites: Java and OO design principles.

MIT is at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, just on the north side of Memorial Drive(on the north shore of the Charles River), in Cambridge, MA.
Map showing the MIT campus. The red building is Bldg. 34; the Kendall T-Station is on Main Street off the right side of the map.
Building 34 is located on Vassar Street about half way between Main Street and Massachusetts Ave. It is a small square building turned 45 degrees to the street so it may look like a diamond, especially with a glass atrium entrance. Building 34 is set back a few yards from the street and the line of other buildings. It is between buildings 36 and 38.
Parking: Vassar Street on the other side of Mass Ave has a parking lot, a garage, and plenty of spaces on the street. MIT West Annex Lot and West Garage
