Dependency Injection and Aspect Oriented Programming

Inversion of Control (IOC), Dependency Injection (DI) and Aspect Oriented Programming are three popular keywords in Software Designing and Programming. But these terms are quite confusing to others and to each others some time. Let us try to understand what are these terms and how these are used.

If we think about Inversion of Control, it seems like we are changing the flow of control from, and a new King is coming in picture who will control all the flow now onward. Actually it is right. Earlier when we have started with Procedural programming, we tend to have control at single point. Later when we shift to OOP, we did better by decentralizing the logic and hence the control also to respective object. However, as we move on, we still find something missing which was hard coding of object dependencies on each other. If anytime, we need to change the implementation of a specific object, it means that we need to change the code and it may probably have some impact on implementation style. Then we strive hard to find the solution for providing such flexibility in the application and devised various design patterns like Service Locator, and Factory Pattern etc.This gave us good solutions by keeping knowledge of actual object implementation away from user object and hence gives the flexibility to change the implementation at any point of time. Things moves well, and applications used to be more and more flexible in design with increased use of such design patterns. However, one end of control was still in the hand of user object. It was still aware and the one who will initiate the factory or service locator to further get the right implementation of service. But desirable stage was, when user object is just aware about type of service it wants, not the source and actual instance of this service.....

Is Micromanagement a Right Management Style?

This is a conflicting topic. However let us start from a generic concept which is, everything is good and bad both, and the difference comes only with context. So any thing can be bad at one point for few people, however can be good at the same time for others. Same applies to Micromanagement also.

What is micro and macro management? Management is about planning, execution and delivering the desired results with given resources in given time. Macro management is when you believe in your team and manage them considering their skills. If you bank upon the skills of your team members, and try to nourish their skills by giving proper guidance with a desired level of challenges, you will never feel like to go in details of every aspect of execution. Rather, you would like to spend your time on more productive work items, like planning the things which your team can not do, or other important activities like client management, resource management, and strategical planning. It does not mean to loose control on project, Project Control is an important aspect of Management. However, micro-management is about managing every aspect of execution yourself. Where team does not have the rights to take even execution level decisions and every new step is blocked for your approval. Where you are spending most of your time on what the team is doing and how this is being implemented, rather than to devote your time on other activities matching to your skills like planning for future. Such environment shows the lack of confidence in team, or manager expectations are very high from team and she thinks that work can not be done perfectly till she participate herself. This could be the personality traits of an individual or some kind of insecurity feeling or could be the control freak.
