  1. Alternative Architectures: Inversion of Control Mike Hadlow mikehadlow@yahoo.com mikehadlow.blogspot.com

  2. What am I going to talk about? • The problem: Application Architecture. • What is Inversion of Control? • Inversion of Control Containers. • A Real Application: Suteki Shop.

  3. Comonent size vs. complexity is not linear Complexity Features

  4. Break large pieces into smaller pieces

  5. The goal of good architecture • Don’t repeat yourself (DRY) • Decreased coupling • Separation of concerns • Reduced cost of change • Greater flexibility • Do more for less ££££

  6. What is a component Wikipedia says: • Multiple use • Non context specific • Composable with other components • Encapsulated • A unit of independent deployment and versioning

  7. What is inversion of control? • A way of designing reusable components • A way of decoupling services • A design pattern not a framework • ‘Inject’ dependencies through constructor or parameters (Dependency Injection) • It’s easy!

  8. Show me the code <Demo>

  9. Problems with typical coding techniques • Difficult or impossible to test • Tightly coupled • Violates the single responsibility principle • Violates the open closed principle

  10. Vocabulary Service = Interface (IEmailSender) Component = Class (EmailSender) BUT Not all classes are components

  11. IoC design style • Systems are composed of small specialised services • Represented by interfaces • Components declare • The services they provide (by implementation) • The services they require (by DI) • Components do not dictate their own lifestyle • Do not implement singleton yourself • Let TDD drive your design

  12. What is an IoC container? • A (very) smart factory • Automatically resolves dependencies • Automatically injects concrete instances • All services are registered in the container • Single point of access for services • Transparent • Various implementations for .NET

  13. Castle MicroKernel / Windsor • Part of the Castle Project castleproject.org • Started by Hamilton Verissimo • Also includes: • MonoRailMVC framework for ASP.NET • ActiveRecordbased on NHibernate

  14. IoC container example <demo>

  15. How dependencies are resolved Reporter IReportBuilder IReportSender

  16. Flexibility <demo>

  17. Lifestyles • Singleton (the default) • Transient • Per Thread • Pooled • Per Web Request • Custom

  18. A Real Application http://code.google.com/p/sutekishop/ http://sutekishop.co.uk/ <suteki shop demo>

  19. Pros? • Simpler component architecture • Reduced cost of change • Easy to unit test • Easily move between application configurations • Ready made configuration (IoC containers)

  20. Cons? • Not another thing to learn? • Higher level of abstraction • Performance? • Lifestyle mistakes can be hard to diagnose • Can’t do obfuscation and configuration • Maybe it’s time we looked at dynamically typed languages?

  21. Should I use it? • Already familiar with OO principles and patterns? • Already writing unit tests? • Using a statically typed language? If not, learn how to do these first Don’t impose an IoC container on a team which can’t see its benefit

  22. Resources • Castle Project castleproject.org • Oren Einiayende.com/blog • Alex Henderson bittercoder.com • ALT NET http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/altdotnet/
