Experimentation is always the best way to learn. You might also want to follow the Eos tutorial. Tutorial gives you basic overview of the language and it takes you through the examples provided with this package. Tutorial is intended for readers who know the basic constructs of the C# language as Eos is an aspect-oriented extension of C#. Some of the terminology and concepts related to aspect-oriented programming are also discussed in the tutorial. In case of any doubts, problems, suggestions please do not hesitate to contact the Eos team at Eos@cs.virginia.edu.

Eos requires .NET framework. This Framework can be obtained from various sources, but Eos is only tested on Microsoft® .NET Framework version 1.0.3705. You are free to try it on other frameworks and we will be happy to know the results and help you out in case you encounter errors.

The current version is quite limited and it does not allows you to specify many options available with C# compiler. All options were added on a need basis. If you need some specific option available in C# compiler csc.exe for your project, please let us know and we will try our best to provide it, however we do not offer any guarantee that it will be provided.

Eos only supports weaving aspects to C# code.
