---------------------
1.Starting up with Aspect-Oriented Programming
By Rohit Sethi
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a paradigm that is quickly gaining t=
raction in the development world. At least partially spurred by the popul=
arity of the Java Spring framework [1], people are beginning to understan=
d the substantial benefits that AOP brings to development.

2.Of Hackers and Egos
By Don Parker
The world of computer security can often be a strange and compelling one.=
 Many outsiders, or those with little knowledge of computers, just don't =
understand the whole uproar over various issues, such as whether Microsof=
t Vista is more secure then Linux or Mac. It's all moot as far as the gen=
eral population is concerned. But, for those of use who work in the indus=
try, it is just more grist for the mill.=20
