Caleb Jenkins - Code to DI - Dependency Injection for Modern Applications

Details
Abstract
This talk will walk us in to the heroic world of super spies and James Bond as we introduce the concepts of factories, strategy pattern, Inversion of Control, dependency injection and several of the available frameworks. We’ll look at common dependency injection patterns and various IoC/DI frameworks, the pro’s & cons, practical steps and guidance as well some of the real world scenarios with impact to Unit Testing and application architecture.
To quote the Wrox "Real World C#, .NET and Silverlight" Book: “The single greatest thing that you can do to make your code more testable, healthy and to reduce your technical debt is to start taking a Dependency Injection (DI) approach to writing software” – and this talk will take you there.
Learning Objectives
• Learn Dependency Injection style of coding and make it a natural part of your development.
• Leverage DI in Automated Tests with Mocking Frameworks.
• Discover the various DI frameworks, their various strengths and trade-offs.
You should come away with a new appreciation of DI for your code – and you’ll be humming the James Bond theme for the rest of the week – It’s a great time!
