Dependency Injection in C# ❘ A Hands-On Guide to Boosting Code Flexibility and Testability

Welcome back to Skill Foundry! Today, Eric Wise will demystify Dependency Injection, a key concept for improving code flexibility and testability. We start with an overview and then dive into hands-on coding, using C# to transform a basic Rock-Paper-Scissors game through Dependency Injection. This tutorial caters to developers of all skill levels and covers common pitfalls and their solutions.

Eric will refactor a tightly coupled Rock-Paper-Scissors game in C# into dependency-injected components using interfaces. This practical example will make the concept clear and show you how to apply it in your own projects.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer in need of a refresher, this tutorial offers valuable insights. You'll learn how Dependency Injection enables the swapping of behaviors and facilitates easier unit testing, preparing you for more complex development projects.

By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to design classes for Dependency Injection. Don't miss this chance to elevate your development skills.

As soon as I opened the video and saw your face sir, I felt overwhelmed by a sense of trust. I immediately subscribed.

[SproutSkout]

I am sold when you said "We teach people how to code the right way."

[guavavodka]

If anyone is curious why it's called dependency inversion, it is because instead of the class depending on lower level details (where the choices come from), it now depends on a HIGHER level abstraction (the interface), thus the dependencies were inverted

[RogerDunder]

That was the easiest most clear explanation i found so far, thank you so much!

[julieyeaeun]

Eric you are an AMAZING teacher!
Sincerely, a former teacher turned programmer :)

[navjotkaur]

In depth Explanation from a master! Awesome!

[michi]

Love the short but rly clearly overview and example, of what dependency injection is. At the begin i thought it was some evil stuff, but learned fast, its simple and rly helpful.

[jessadadissopa]

i like the way you teach, explaining things with not too fast speed and i like your energy. you're a great teacher. and I subscribed

[Aleamanic]

Great job explaining! First time, after watching many related videos, I could follow the explanation and got it. Presented at the right pace with good examples. Thank you!

[unknown.artist.track]

awesome awesome awesome. just brilliant explanation and example

[joekimbler]

Fantastic explanation and example for DI!! You teach both the concept of DI as well as how it is implemented in c#. Simple and to the point. Great job.

[EA]

Best explanation so far. So glad I found your video. Thanks

[tgqimkg]

Thank you for the video! This is one of the best explanations for Dependency Injection. And one of the best demonstrations of the right approach to programming.

[HiwashiYT]

What an amazing explanation for a very confusing topic to beginners like myself, you even added the testing example that so many people mention but never show! Great work, will definitely follow your channel for more content.

[JanKowalski-ldec]

I'd been lookin for good interface explanation until I found your channel. And you did best of what you could. Explained interfaces and DI at once, on working example. Fantastic job! Great content, great teaching approach, wide perspective filled with necessary details without overhelming the learner and topic. All the best for you and your channel!

[justHeisen]

You have the perfect pace for teaching.

[gregschlitt]

Nice work, with a well chosen example

[christianfredrickgerman]

Thanks. You explain DI so clear and simple that even non programmer can understand.

[mitkram]

This is exactly the approach we took in our project. OOP in C# is not complete if not done with DI. Dependency Injection was intimidating at first but once you fully understood its principles, you'll get addicted to using it in your OOP implementation.
