Power and Peril “Because well designed objects have a single responsibility, their very nature requires that they collaborate to accomplish complex tasks. This collaboration is powerful and perilous. To collaborate, an object must know something know about others. Knowing creates a dependency. If not managed carefully, these dependencies will strangle your application.” - Sandi Metz http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1946176
Coupling “The measure of the strength of association established by a connection from one module to another.” - Stevens, Myers and Constantine Structured Design IBM Systems Journal 13:2, 1974

Loosely coupled software is… Flexible: the impact of a change is small Reasonable: the impact of a change is localised Mobile: the system is decomposed into reusable parts - Bob Martin http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/dip.pdf

Dependency Inversion Principle “High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.” “Abstractions should not depend on details. Details should depend on abstractions.” - Bob Martin http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/dip.pdf

Ignore DIP when…
The low-level details are highly unlikely to change. The abstraction is the same as the low-level details.
Summary Coupling is a measure of the extent to which modules depend on each other Loose coupling enables flexible, reasonable and mobile code DIP tells us to avoid coupling high-level and low-level details; and to depend on abstractions
