About

Hi! I’m Steven van Deursen and this is my blog. My blog posts are about software development, design, architecture, security, and everything that interests me concerning my profession.

I’m a Dutch freelance .NET developer and architect and writing code for the last 26 years. I’m a passionate speaker, coauthor of the second edition of the book “Dependency Injection in .NET” (also available in Chinese, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Japanese), and the developer of Simple Injector; an increasingly popular DI Container library for .NET.
