“ Mark Pollack did an incredible job as presenter. Excellent overview of IoC/DI, even AOP & I felt Mark's presentation brought everyone on the same page quickly to help kick off the discussion. He was also very thorough in his research/including the best Spring-based containers, imo. Sure it veers off-topic from time-to-time but that's part of an open-ended discussion. As always many salient points were brought up, I'd bet just about everyone learns something from these meetings & I appreciate the chance to discuss, share and learn. Thanks to all who attend these meetings - I think it helps us all build better systems. ”
