If you're going to be near Hampton Virginia from June 27th through the 29th you should check out MADExpo! MADExpo will bring together a diverse group of hundreds of software developers from all over the east coast. If you make it out, come introduce yourself, I'd love to buy you a beer and talk shop! Use the promo code CODETHINKED when you register for 50 bucks off! (Feel free to share the code!)
My first screencast on Derik Whittaker's Dimecasts.net is up! It is discussing the basics of Dependency Injection using the Ninject DI framework. Click the link below to check it out:
Introduction to the Ninject IoC Container
Let me know what you think, and give me any suggestions you may have!
Yep, that's me. Justin Etheredge.
I think it does a good job of explaining how to implement simple DI, but doesn’t explain why I would want to. If I’m watching this and don’t know anything about DI, I need to know what the benefit is to me.
@Dave Agreed, with the time constraints I did even really think about trying to do a pitch for DI. I am planning on doing several screencasts, and in fact have already recorded a second one, but at this point I think going back and trying to sell DI would just be awkward. So, I might try and get up a post at some point that touches on the selling points of dependency injection.
@Dave & @Justin,
I am planning a similar series but using StructureMap (actually going to use the same code concepts as Justin, per his ok) in order to give people an array of choices. I will do my best to also add an episode on the WHY of DI.
Very cool, look forward to seeing it!
oh yea, and forgot that Donald Belcham (aka igloocoder) is doing a series on IoC with Windsor. We are going to have all the IoC containers covered. Which is great.
@Derik That sounds great!
