About Greg Young:

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/f/8/2/600_267233122.jpeg Greg is well-known in the .NET community and beyond for his innovations regarding Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (http://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html) (CQRS), Event Sourcing, and Domain-Driven Design (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419654.aspx).

He is the lead architect and designer of Event Store (http://geteventstore.com/), a product he and his team launched last year. Event Store is "The open-source, functional database with Complex Event Processing in JavaScript". You can see him announce the launch and demo how it works in this recorded talk (http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/design-architecture/event-store-launch).

In addition to the hours and hours of free material, open-source code, and blogging Greg has done to benefit the community, he has taught his very popular CQRS, Domain Events, & DDD class for four years. But, he recently decided to offer it as a professionally recorded video (http://goodenoughsoftware.net/online-videos/) to meet the exploding demands for it. He offers it with individual and corporate licenses, and with a limited time 40% off discount right now. This gives many of us a very affordable way to both learn these concepts at our own pace, and to thank Greg for his contributions to our community.

He's working on a book named Event Centric: Finding Simplicity in Complex Systems (http://www.amazon.com/Event-Centric-Simplicity-Addison-Wesley-Signature/dp/0321768221), and he blogs at GoodEnoughSoftware.net (http://goodenoughsoftware.net/).

Seeking your input for his visit:

Greg's visit is very timely as we continue our Implementing Domain-Driven Design (http://blogs.versionone.com/agile-development/2013/03/15/become-anti-corrupt-in-a-new-implementing-domain-driven-design-book-study-group/) book study. So, what are some things you'd like to have him discuss with us?
