I'm not a fan of meta posting but this information was so valuable to me that I wanted to keep track of it on my blog just in case something happens to the original article.

If you are one of the unlucky few (I would like to think there are no many of us) still using Visual Source Safe in 2010, then I bet that you've needed to get a version of your project at a given point in time. It happened to me today again and instead of setting with the "Sorry, SS doesn't support that" I set up to find a solution.

I found an old post by Brennan Stehling with the exact instructions to get a point in time snapshot using Visual Source Safe or using Brennan words: Get by date.

This post from Uncle Bob generated lots of talking on the developer community regarding Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI), which is always good for the sake of  learning and general awarness. Almost every developer with a blog posted about their take on this subject. Two people which I respect a great deal and suscribe to their blogs also posted their reactions, please read Ayende and Davy's blogs for a better understanding of their positions.

What I get from all this, in short, is that Uncle Bob accepts the advantages of using dependency injection but prefers to encapsulate the access to the IoC container on factories. Davy seems to accept this approach on another post...
