Topic: Dependency Injection: A Practical Introduction

Dependency Injection continues to be a popular topic. DI is extremely useful for creating loosely coupled applications. Unfortunately, most devs are introduced to DI by being thrown into code that uses a Dependency Injection container (such as Unity, Ninject, or StructureMap). We start learning DI by implementing it manually. That way, we understand the concepts and the steps involved. After we have a good handle on that, we look at how containers can help take care of the tedious bits and also provide extra functionality.

Stay tuned: I have a number of event scheduled at the beginning of April. So, if you're in Phoenix AZ, Los Angeles CA, San Bernardino CA, or the San Francisco Bay area, you'll have a chance to come see me soon.

Hope to see you at an upcoming event. And if you want me to come to your event, just drop me a note.

Happy Coding!
