Unity - Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control Container

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:01:14 GMT

Dependency injection is a programming technique to reduce component coupling. Dependency injection is also commonly known as "inversion of control" or IoC or sometimes as The Hollywood Principle - "Don't call us, we'll call you". The goal of dependency injection is to separate the concerns of how a dependency is obtained from the core concerns of a boundary. This improves reusability by enabling components to be supplied with dependencies which may vary depending on context.

Implementing Generic Caching

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:46:02 GMT

I develop for a large, high-availability website, with hundreds of thousands of daily users. As such, we need to cache a lot of data in our web-server memory (which is cheap) to save numerous hits to our main database cluster (which is very expensive). I would imagine the desire to improve performance by saving on database hits is common across many web applications - and caching frequently used data is often seen as one of the best ways to solve this problem.
