So today, I started covering GUI building in VW. That means covering the UI/domain model split, which means explaining how one hooks a UI to a domain - which involves, ultimately, getting into AspectAdaptors. I've yet to see a class where this didn't cause a lot of zoning out. We didn't go into any depth - more or less, I explained what they are good for, how they work, and that understanding them in depth really isn't critical at this point (these are Smalltalk beginners). I guess what I'm curious about is this - anyone have a "surefire" way to explain the concept to newbies?
