In the previous post, I used unity in order to implement interception in an application. The implementation was very easy but at the same time very limited. For example, there is no way to limit the methods or namespaces we want to intercept. Policy Injection provides various ways of creating matching rules. My favorite rules are Namespace Matching Rule and Member Name Matching Rule. As the names imply, the former is defining the matching namespace(s) and latter is defining the name of the member(s)....

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) aims to increase modularity by separation of cross-cutting concerns. Without knowing about the jargon and software engineering terms, probably the first time a software developer thinks about this is when s/he is thinking about implementing logging and exception handling in an application. If you are an old VB6 developer who used to write the whole application in one module (I used to do that), you are going to implement something like this:...

The followings are form [here] Honoring key web tenets – The Web favors stateless interactions which do not saddle either party of a data exchange with the responsibility to remember what the other did or expects. Doing otherwise is a recipe for extreme brittleness in implementations; it also raises considerably the development cost which reduces the reach of the standard itself.   Flexibility in its support of popular media formats and codecs as well as openness to future innovation– A successful standard cannot be tied to individual codecs, data formats or scenarios....
