Chat about Domain Driven Design at Breakwaters, downtown Burlington

August 19, 2013 · 6:00 PM
Breakwaters

Rather than a formal presentation, we'll have an informal gathering with discussion around Domain Driven Design. Julie will bring paper, marker and a small whiteboard. The focus will be to help newbies grok the basic concepts of DDD from the interaction wtih the domain experts (aka clients), to breaking up the domain in to sub-domains (aka bounded contexts) and some of the implementation details (aka entities, value objects, aggregates, roots & the infamous "anemic domain model").

Because of Julie's data-first background, she is especially keen to help other historically data-first developers be aware of DDD.

Looking forward to learning from others who've also been working with (or learning about) DDD!

It's a nice day. We'll meet at Breakwaters, starting at 6 (or earlier!). Try to gather some tables for a group of perhaps 10-15?

Thanks for coming. What a beautiful night to have this meetup outdoors by the lake!

could you post a short description of what is going to be covered, even if only a high level?

  Carl sorry for the mystery. Steve and I were going to talk about Domain Driven Design (starts from business needs, heavily involves domain experts, break up problem into sub-domains and work on them independently...lots more...so there's a lot of process involved)0 and show some code that follows the subsequent implementation patterns. Steve is not coming. I've still been working hard to get my data-first head wrapped around this. But with the changed schedule, we did not get a proper presentation together and I got only one response to the email I sent to everyone who was signed up about if we should bother with this meeting or just put all focus onto code camp. Is this something your interested in?

  Whatever is easier for you, Julie. With my busy schedule this week, I was unfortunately tentative about attending anyway.

  Julie, Thanks for the update. It is something I'm interested in, especially if explained from the perspective of us who are steeped in the data-first model. Sorry I didn't see the earlier email/post about level of interest in the topic. If you it doesn't happen this time around it would be great if it could be rescheduled for a future meeting.
