I think it's tosh.... not unlike a lot of his books... it's the usual pattern of an author re-inventing a subject by applying a new vocabulary.
I actually saw this author when he gave a 'key note' speech at an XP seminar in London in December. The keynote was crap, though as the audience was full of XP zealots they were all in awe. Later on I overheard Fowler talking with a colleague about how bored he was with XP. Perhaps he's looking at Avalon as his next victim - God help you all. The existing Avalon docs are hardly sparkling or comprehensive but I doubt if they need the Fowler treatment. -----Original Message----- From: Stephane Vaucher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 January 2004 04:39 To: Avalon framework users Subject: Martin Fowler's article of IOC http://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html Any comments? sv --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
