[Ryan Duclos]

Hello All. I just wanted to send an invitation to our next meeting! Please RSVP to rdu...@gmail.com if you plan on attending. If you know anyone who might be interested please let them know.

LANUG Meeting – Tuesday, March 30, 2010 6:00 PM

Speaker: Jeff Barnes (http://jeffbarnes.net/blog)
I’m a passionate software developer and advocate of the Microsoft .NET platform.  In my opinion, software development is a craft that necessitates a conscious effort to continually improve your skills rather than falling into the trap of complacency.  Currently, I work as a .NET Software Craftsman for DAXKO, a leading provider of operations and financial management solutions for member-centric nonprofits.  I'm also a three time Microsoft MVP in Connected Systems.

Topic: Why you should care about Dependency Injection

Summary: Terms such as Inversion of Control, Dependency Injection, and IoC Containers have become increasingly common in the world of .NET development.  However, many developers are still wondering what’s the big deal?  Are you curious what these terms actually mean?  Would you like to know why the concepts are important as well as how and when to apply them?  If so, please join me for this practical and interactive code focused presentation to learn how you can greatly reduce the coupling of your code and increase the flexibility of your application by leveraging these concepts.  The StructureMap IoC Container will be used as a reference for this presentation, but the concepts are applicable to your container of choice.

Location: Mobile Information Technology (MIT) 651 Church St. Mobile, AL
