Well as the more observant reader of Alex Jame's Blog might have noticed, I'm talking at the the Architect Camp 2007 this year... which should be...interesting - I haven't done any public speaking for a while now, but Alex James assures me I'll be fine ... be it on his head! ;o) ...
So I'm planning to talk about IoC (Inversion of Control) - one of my little pet loves... Some of the subjects I'm considering include:
- Coupling
- How do we couple (Message, data, content etc.)
- Metrics for the architect (Instability vs. Abstractness etc.)
- Dependency Injection
- Constructor dependencies
- Parameter dependencies
- Law of Demeter
- Inversion of Control
- Why bother?
- Added flexibility and opportunity
- Lowering the cost of change
- ServiceLocators
- Inversion of control containers
- What's available (Castle, Spring, StructureMap etc.)
- Autowiring
- Services
- Lifestyle vs Lifecycle
- Configuration
- AOP
- Patterns
- Decorators
- Facilities
- Arrays (simple contributor patterns etc.)
But that's only a small brain dump... we will see what actually gets in there.
For anyone who's thinking of attending this event, anything in particular you would like to have covered in a little more depth... or have you had any exposure to IoC at all?
