Dependency Injection discussion
Posted by Davy Brion on August 19th, 2007
This post shamelessly links to a few other posts, but this is a pretty good discussion about the benefits of dependency injection (DI) and definitely a good read.
Round 1:
It starts off with Jacob Proffitt’s post where he challenges the benefits of DI beyond those of testability. Ayende then posted a good reply to it. Nate Kohari also has an excellent post defending DI.
Round 2:
Jacob replies, followed again by another Ayende reply. Aaron from Eleutian then chips in with another thoughtful post.
You’re probably wondering: “why the hell is he just linking to these posts?”. Well, i just like DI and wish more developers knew about it. For those who don’t know too much about DI, read my intro to DI and then read all of the posts i linked to above. You should have a pretty good understanding of DI and its benefits then.
