See all- Study Group: Reading the Blue Book - ConclusionVito, Zürich
This will be an in-person event in Zürich (exact location to be determined), please make sure to update your RSVP a few days before the event so we can make a reservation for the right number of people.
This is the final meeting of the Domain Driven Design Study Group - Reading the Blue Book.
This week we discuss Chapter 17 (Bringing the Strategy Together) and the Conclusion.
You can find more details and the full schedule at https://github.com/sabinewinkler/ddd-blue-book-study, and our Discord Channel at https://discord.gg/Gykr6b5QBK.
Feel free to join even if you missed the previous meetings. We only expect that you have read the week's chapters for the discussion.
The meeting is scheduled for 2 hours, but we will have a break and mid-session wrap-up after about one hour, where you can decide whether to stay for the second half.
About the book
"This book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful Software developer" - Kent Beck
Eric Evans' Domain Driven Design* is a classic for a reason. It is a book filled with insights and knowledge that has significantly influenced the thinking about modelling software. Yet, it's been a while since it was written - this year marks the 20th anniversary (!) - , some techniques have been refined since.
That is why we think it is the perfect choice for a study group, where we can deepen our understanding and share our experiences. Whether you're new to DDD or have been practicing it for years, there is (still) wisdom to be found in the blue book.
* Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software by Eric Evans Publisher: Addison-Wesley; ISBN: 0-321-12521-5
- Software Craft Study Group: Expert Software Developers' Approach to ErrorLink visible for attendees
Join our next session of the Software Craft Study Group to discuss the talk "Expert Software Developers' Approach to Error" by Marian Petre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNMF5AS4SLg
Ideally you should watch the video before the meeting. We will present a short introduction to the topic though, so if you don't manage to watch it, you can still join. The main focus of the meeting is a free discussion where everyone can participate.
What is the Software Craft Study Group about?
We want to take advantage of all the great content on Software Engineering available out there and learn from it to become better at our craft. These meetings give us an excuse to actually study these resources and a chance to ask each other questions for clarification as well as share our own experiences. It is also a great place to meet people.
We meet remotely (even if there is no pandemic going on), so you can join from anywhere! And don't hesitate to join if you are just starting your programming journey, as long as you are interested in the weekly topic this is the right place for you.
If you would like to keep the discussion going outside the meetings, join our Discord channel on the Coders Only server: https://discord.gg/SR7BZ8RZq7.
You can also suggest new topics for upcoming discussions or vote for existing suggestions in the topic-suggestions channel: https://discord.gg/WdgXGNxCUR
We also have a collection of links from previous discussions. If you have a link you shared or mentioned in a previous session, feel free to add it there.
