Remember your first time wrestling with Dependency Injection (DI) or Inversion Of Control (IoC)?

Remember your first time wrestling with Dependency Injection (DI) or Inversion Of Control (IoC)?

I do. And it was like trying to decode a foreign language.

When Castle Windsor and other similar projects were starting to take the limelight, I won’t deny it – I was utterly lost.

The buzz was loud, but the ‘why’ was a faint whisper, barely audible.

My static helper classes were my safety blanket, protecting me from the uncertainty of the unfamiliar.

I was unknowingly burying the initialization of my dependencies deep into the labyrinth of my code.

Writing tests? A nightmare when you don’t have control over your dependencies.

Today, DI and IoC are as familiar to me as the back of my hand.

Yet, I won’t ever forget the steep learning curve. That first taste of confusion. The struggle of wrapping my head around a complex idea.

Why? Because it makes me appreciate the journey of others.

So, remember – everyone is dealing with their own version of DI and IoC. Let’s be patient, supportive, and remember where we started.
