It manages the dependencies between classes so that **applications stay easy to change as they grow** in size and complexity. This is achieved by treating regular .NET classes as *[components](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/glossary.html)*.

If you're feeling adventurous, [continuous integration builds are on MyGet](https://www.myget.org/gallery/autofac). [Release notes are available on the wiki](https://github.com/autofac/Autofac/wiki/Release-Notes). ## Get Help **Need help with Autofac?** We have [a documentation site](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/) as well as [API documentation](http://autofac.org/apidoc/). We're ready to answer your questions on [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/autofac) or check out the [discussion forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#forum/autofac). ## Get Started Our [Getting Started](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/index.html) tutorial walks you through integrating Autofac with a simple application and gives you some starting points for learning more. Super-duper quick start: [Register components with a `ContainerBuilder`](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/register/registration.html) and then build the component container. ```C# var builder = new ContainerBuilder(); builder.Register(c => new TaskController(c.Resolve())); builder.RegisterType(); builder.RegisterInstance(new TaskController()); builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(controllerAssembly); var container = builder.Build(); ``` [Resolve services from a lifetime scope](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/resolve/index.html) - either the container or a nested scope: ```C# var taskController = container.Resolve(); ``` There is a growing number of [application integration libraries](http://autofac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integration/index.html) that make using Autofac with your application a snap. Support for several popular frameworks is also available through the "Extras" packages. **[Intrigued?
