		<title>Convention-based part registration available in a new MEF preview!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many, many similarities between IoC-for-decoupling (as we know and love in Autofac) and IoC-for-extensibility as is implemented by MEF. One thing that stuck out in the beginning for the MEF project members with IoC backgrounds, was the verbosity of using [Import] and [Export] attributes to describe parts, instead of the much more terse&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Autofac 2.5 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Autofac 2.5 is now available on the project site and via NuGet. The new version includes a range of great contributions. After incubation as an external project, Windows Phone 7 now joins ranks of officially-supported targets (just install the Autofac package via NuGet and you&#8217;re up and running!)

		<title>Designing a Short Course on IoC: Day 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last of this curious series of journal entries today. As I mentioned previously, today is going to be about finalising the end-to-end flow of topics. I think the first session &#8211; Fundamentals &#8211; is finished. I&#8217;m really excited and even a little nervous about putting together a new container on the fly! As a&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Designing a Short Course on IoC: Day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief update today. Yesterday I think I covered everything I need to as far as demo app material goes, but tidying up, styling and (egads!) unit testing will have to wait for a rainy day. I spent a fair bit of time yesterday looking at how I can use Whitebox to give an x-ray&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Designing a Short Course on IoC: Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or am I slowing down? Yesterday was a busy day of programming, but there&#8217;s still a long way to go before this application is going to cut the mustard as an example for the course. In the end, I went with the idea of a timesheeting application. Simple material keeps out&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Designing a Short Course on IoC: Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, yesterday, a lot of thinking. Today it&#8217;s time to start fleshing out some of the things we&#8217;ll need. The course is going to be split into four sections, to match the natural division of the day by morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea: Fundamentals Effective IoC Resources and Units of Work Containers and Tooling&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Designing a Short Course on IoC: Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s the start of a really exciting week for me! I&#8217;ve been working with Inversion of Control (IoC) Containers and related technologies since picking up Castle Windsor in 2006, actively developed Autofac for much of that time, and helped shape the first release of the Managed Extensibility Framework. In that period IoC has grown and&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Autofac 2.4.5 Release</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More than a month has passed since the last patch release of Autofac 2.4, and enough has changed in trunk to warrant a new one. You can download Autofac 2.4.5 from the project site, or preferably, update your NuGet packages within Visual Studio. In this release you&#8217;ll find: Several bug fixes and improved exception messages&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Autofac 2.4 is here – come and “NuGet” it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The latest release of the Autofac IoC container is now available on the project site and via NuGet. ASP.NET MVC Integration Changes The best thing in the new release, and possibly since sliced bread, is the new Autofac ASP.NET MVC integration. Gone are special interfaces on HttpApplication, gone are the Web.config file edits, static properties&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>An Autofac Lifetime Primer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or, “Avoiding Memory Leaks in Managed Composition” Understanding lifetime can be pretty tough when you’re new to IoC. Even long-time users express vague fears and misgivings when it comes to this subject, and disconcerting issues – components not being disposed, steadily climbing memory usage or an OutOfMemoryException – have bitten many of us at one&#8230;]]></description>
