We were talking Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control yesterday, Sean Farmar introduced the topic and the concepts behind Dependency Injection and Inversion of control and then proceeded to show Spring.net IoC container. Then I did a really short presentation on Windsor (I prepared it in 5 min before going to the meeting to cover for franklin, since he was sick and due to present this in a more complete way)
Both presentations and sample code will be available later in our brand new repo http://code.google.com/p/irelandaltnet If you want to commit something to it (ie older presentations), please just contact us (twit, comment here, etc).
I also committed the layout of the Windsor presentation, that comes from the guys from the Scotish Alt Net.
Links (that we either mentioned or that came up):
- Spring.net http://www.springframework.net/news.html
- Windsow http://castleproject.org/container/index.html
- Ninject http://ninject.org/
- Fowler’s IoC DI article
Couldnt find the MEF article in 10-4 in Channel 9, Ruben, can you please comment with the link?
Later, we were talking about good NHibernate resources
- Summer of NHibernate http://www.summerofnhibernate.com/
- NHibernate in Action book
- NHForge http://nhforge.org/
- NHPof (the profiler by Ayende) http://nhprof.com/
Next Month Andrew Smith is going to be talking about ORM with NHibernate, we need a backup speaker, any one in?

The MEF intro that I was mentioning as one of the clearest I’d heard yet:- from http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/10-4/ — http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/10-4/10-4-Episode-26-Creating-Extensible-Applications-with-the-Managed-Extensibility-Framework/
Also, Sean was looking for me to post a few more links that came up in conversation. One was for Inside the Microsoft® Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build (PRO-Developer) by Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi and William Bartholomew http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Microsoft%C2%AE-Build-Engine-PRO-Developer/dp/0735626286/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248079487&sr=8-11 (The first 3 chapters really answer everything about MSBuild you’ve never been 100% on and/or are doomed to figure out by trial and error, and the second half is an excellent Team Foundation Build summary. Just buy it if you have an MSBuild based build script)
uploaded the presentation and code to our Google code repository yesterday.
Thanks Ruben!
I can talk as a backup speaker about Hibernate but this is the Java version of NHibernate. Would that be of any help?
