Inversion of Control Tutorial For Java

06Apr09

One of my client projects really needs Dependency Injection to untangle the code. But before anything I need to get the team comfortable with IoC. Essentially need to a good sales job . There are a lot of skeptics who don’t believe in it and with an offshore team in the picture anything complicated is just going to be done wrong by the offshore team putting the whole trial at risk.

So I obviously just turned to google to find the best tutorial I could find – and it seems there are not really many decent ones out there.

The simple requirements I have for a good Tutorial are

Should be easy to setup – something novices cannot mess up easily
Actually do something useful to actually prove the usefulness of IoC

The simple ones don’t do anything useful and anything which actually is useful points to Spring and I am sure that most of the team would just turn around and say is the setup cost of Spring worth IoC.

Maybe I need to create one.
