I will give a presentation on Aquarium at Chirb this Monday evening, Oct. 1st. David Chelimsky will also be speaking on new developements in RBehave and RSpec. Details are here.
David and I will be doing a joint presentation at the December meeting. It will be a tutorial on Ruby metaprogramming.

This is primarily a bug-fix release. I labeled it “v0.1.5” instead of “v0.1.1”, because a non-trivial API change was required; Aquarium no longer automatically adds methods to Object, due to collisions with Rails. This means that users of the “DSL methods” will need to require a new file or include a new module.
See the “CHANGES” file in the distribution of here for more information.

I just released V0.8.0 of Contract4J5. This release deprecates support for JRuby (for reasons discussed in the README) and provides general robustness improvements, especially in the area of test expression evaluation.
My plan is to complete all the remaining “1.0” features by the 0.9 release towards the end of the year. I hope to (finally) release 1.0 early next year.
Please visit the Contract4J web site for more information.

I’m giving a talk at the Chicago Java User’s Group West meeting this Thursday at 6:30 PM. The topic is Aspect-Oriented Programming and Software Design in Java and AspectJ. I’ll briefly describe the problems that AOP addresses and how the principles of object-oriented design influence AOP and vice versa. If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there.

I’m doing a tutorial on aspect-oriented design principles with examples in Java and AspectJ at OOPSLA this year. You can find a description here
