We’ll kick off the evening with a short introduction to DDD: the essentials — a 15-minute primer to get everyone on the same page and give newcomers a solid foundation.

The main session of the evening is a hands-on exploration of Domain Prototyping by Tim Schraepen.
When exploring a domain, speed and iteration matter more than perfection. Thanks to Kotlin’s expressiveness and low verbosity, it becomes easier to write code that you’re willing to throw away — making it a great fit for rapid prototyping. In this interactive session, we’ll focus on how to quickly iterate on models and code to better understand and align with the business domain. This is not about Kotlin as a language, but about using code as a thinking and learning tool.

Expect an informal, collaborative session with room for discussion and questions.

We’ll wrap up the evening by discussing the future of the DDD Belgium meetup: what formats we prefer, how often to meet, and what kind of sessions we want to organize together.

Whether you're here to learn, share, or just reconnect with the DDD community — we’re looking forward to seeing you there.
