IoC (Inversion of Control)

"Buzz word alarm..." :-)

In short, IoC refers to processes which work opposite of "the usual" approach.

In example, instead of objects reading their configuration, the configuration is written into the object (is "injected", to quote Martin Fowler). Another example: instead of waiting for user input in an endless loop, the program is notified when the user inputs data.
