Your Dependency Injection ready ASP.NET : ASP.NET 5

Posted on April 30, 2015 by Brij

Dependency Injection has become one the key design patterns of the current projects. It helps in writing loosely coupled code which makes the code easily testable and maintainable. As per wiki

Dependency injection is a software design pattern that implements inversion of control for software libraries. Caller delegates to an external framework the control flow of discovering and importing a service or software module specified or “injected” by the caller.

In this post, we will see that how easily we can implement this pattern with ASP.NET 5 projects and leverage various available options .

ASP.NET 5 got completely redesigned and made DI friendly. It provides a by default container which can be used while writing the application. It also enables us to use third party containers with it and you may need a adapter to use with ASP.NET. Continue reading →

Building Modern Web Applications with ASP.NET 5

ASP.NET 5 is now redesigned to cater to the needs of modern web applications. With the redesign, you can now use the latest best practices such as dependency injection, TDD etc. ASP.NET 5 curtails many modules and components that we normally don’t use in our projects and hence boosts application speed. In this session we will examine the design shift that took place within ASP.NET 5 and how it resolves several of the problems that we encounter in our coding lives. At the end of session, you will have a good idea on the changes that ASP.NET5 brings to you as a developer.
