This document provides an overview of dependency injection and real world examples of implementing dependency injection. It discusses what dependencies are, why hardcoding dependencies is problematic, and how interfaces can be used to abstract dependencies. It then covers different types of dependency injection like constructor injection, setter injection, and interface injection. The document demonstrates how to configure dependencies using annotations, XML, YAML, or PHP files. It provides examples of how dependency injection enables easier unit testing, handling multiple implementations of a class, mocking external services, and cleaner code. Finally, it shows how to implement dependency injection using the Zend\Di library in PHP.
