Chicago ALT.NET - IoC Containers

Posted by Sergio on 2008-09-03

Next Wednesday, September 10^th, is the next meeting of the Chicago ALT.NET user group. This time IoC containers will be the topic du jour.

Expect to see an introduction to this technology and learn why IoC isn't just overhead. Don't expect to leave with just another introduction to some technique that you'll never want to use.

Inversion of Control for the masses

John Nuechterlein (a.k.a. jdn) puts Inversion of Control (IoC) containers under the spotlight. If you have been noticing the increasing buzz around this technology but never had a chance to see what it is and how it can be used, this is your chance to see:

An overview of what IoC is, using StructureMap as the example
Why one might want to use IoC
How one can implement IoC
When one might not use IoC

7:45 pm
You may want to stick around after the presentation portion of the meeting and take part in our monthly open discussion. The topic is never arranged in advance but it's common that it reflects the content of the presentation.
