I think Dave's response is excellent but I'll also give it a go incase Dave's didn't hit the spot for you. The previaling thought right now is that your objects should know how to use other objects and thats about it. WIthout an IoC of some sort (coldspring) objects can't just know how to use other objects, they have to know how to create and configure those objects. Coldspring enables your objects to simpley use other objects (by injecting your objects into one another).
