Dagger: Using and contributing to the next Guice

Dependency injection in java has come a long way since Spring popularized the concept 10 years ago. Today, many, if not all DI libraries support writing config in JVM languages as opposed to XML. The new Dagger library changes the game again, this time pushing DI straight into the java compiler.

This session will review what Dagger does and doesn't do, how to use it, and how it works. We'll also touch on what it is like to contribute to an open source library with a “less is more” ethic. Come prepared with a basic understanding of Guice, and leave knowing the latest on dependency injection.
