IB, the ultimate inversion of control container...
Jun 18, 2008 by Bill Dudney
In the Enterprise Java world IoC containers are all the rage as popularized by the wildly successful Spring Framework.
It struck me this morning while trying to explain how IB works that IB & AppKit work together and make something a lot like an IoC container for interfaces. This is probably old hat and has been discussed at length in the past. What really struck home though is that in 1989/1990 I was doing IoC on a NeXT cube.
So elegant and before its time... I'm really glad its time has finally come.
