Weekly Recap
Made EASY – WPF Dependency Injection with IServiceCollection
Dependency injection is a core part of any modern C# application — and WPF apps are no different!
In this video, I’ll walk you through how we can transform a simple WPF application to take advantage of dependency injection using IServiceCollection.
And you know that fun MVVM pattern that gets used heavily with WPF?
Rest assured! We can inject our View Models into our Views with IServiceCollection and clean things up nicely!

How To Build Modular WPF Applications With a Plugin Architecture
WPF is a powerful user interface framework for CSharp, but I hate some of it.
Is hate too strong of a word? Probably.
But in the many years I spent building desktop applications in WPF, I found that I would be fighting against a lot of the framework to make things happen.
However, two things that I don’t compromise on are:
– Dependency Injection
– Plugins
So we’re going to see how we can build a plugin-based WPF application and set you on course for using a plugin architecture in CSharp!

Your Career Will Mean NOTHING Without This… – Interview With William Ray
I had the pleasure to sit down with William Ray and hear about his career journey so far.
It’s not what you’d expect.
And that’s what makes it so great to hear about — because there are so many different avenues to getting into software engineering.
Will shares with us his struggles before finding success in healthcare and how that was something that eventually wasn’t aligned with his passion. The result is that he needed to pivot and stumbling upon coding is what changed his life once again.
Thanks for the conversation, Will!
In UNDER 10 Minutes – WPF Binding Made Easy!
Data binding is an extremely popular concept that we leverage when building WPF applications. Gone are the days of code-behind and hardcoding stuff in the UI! Well — for now. We can use the MVVM pattern and leverage data-binding to our Data Context on WPF controls in order to map properties to some state. In this tutorial, I’ll show you the very basics to kick things off… and we can build on it from there!
As always, thanks so much for your support! I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’ll see you next week.
