DevConFu is first DevClub conference in Latvia which was hold 13th – 15th November 2013 in Jurmala. Before conference I was sceptical about it. I was discovering conference program and found only few interesting sessions for me. Saw that there were many Agile, Testing, but less development related stuff. I also wanted to get to Mark Seeman's session Poka-yoke code: APIs for stupid programmers, but was dissapointed that it didn't happen. And so I was even more sceptical. But...

I am using RavenDB in EPiServer for several months already. It is great replacement for DDS (Dynamic Data Store).

In the last article I wrote how to create StructureMap composition root for Web API, but I mentioned that it will not work with dependences which are disposable. Solution for this issue is simple - use StructureMap's nested containers.

Few months ago Mark Seeman posted article about why using Web API's IDependencyResolver is not appropriate. He suggests composing the dependency graph in IHttpControllerActivator because it provides context for composition. More about it could be read in his article.
