Dependency Inversion Principle

Submitted by Martyn Butterworth on Tue, 01/18/2011 - 12:03

The dependency inversion principle (DIP) is a strategy for decoupling components. It's key concepts are:

  • High level modules should not depend on low level modules. Both high level modules and low level modules should depend upon abstractions.
  • Abstractions should not depend on detail. Details should depend upon abstractions
