Last week I presented this topic in Zurich, based on p&p ObjectBuilder.
It’s amazing how much interest people show around this topic, yet there
is so little available on the web about ObjectBuilder.
The
project has been open sourced for a while now, but the lack of good
documentation and a full DI container hindered its adoption. First
thing I hear on these conferences is that it’s too low-level, and that
higher level APIs are needed.
I believe that’s what will happen in the short-term. ObjectBuilder is a
very good tool to apply simple dependency injection and object
composition functionality in your app, without taking huge
dependencies. For the most part, you can make it work even without
using custom attributes and the like.
You can get the slides (PowerPoint 2007), and download the sample project that compares the usage against standard hardcoded dependencies and even Pico and Spring.
