Hello DDDers,

We are ready to start the season with a live meetup, after almost two years of remote events!

Mark Seemann (@ploeh - https://twitter.com/ploeh ) will be with us once again, with a short presentation of his upcoming book, "Code That Fits In Your Head" (https://amzn.to/3FzpehN). After showcasing some examples from the book, we will continue with a short AMA session.

Presentation

Why is software development so difficult? A major reason is that you spend more time reading than writing code. If you can decrease the time required to read existing code, you can increase productivity.

You can decrease the time you waste reading complicated code by writing code that's easy to read - code that fits in your head.

Code should fit in your head at all levels of abstraction. At the entry point, at the business logic level, and at the lowest levels of detail. This is fractal architecture - code that is organised according to that principle of self-similarity.

This session will start with a short presentation of one of the key ideas from the book Code That Fits in Your Head. Mark also brings the entire example code base that serves as the backbone for the book, so there’ll be plenty of opportunity to dive into details.

After the short introduction, however, we’ll basically hold an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. You’re welcome to ask questions about the book, or about something else entirely.

Speaker

Mark Seemann is a Programmer/architect. Author of "Dependency Injection in .NET" (http://amzn.to/12p90MG) and "Dependency Injection Principles, Practices, and Patterns" (https://amzn.to/3AqCCRu). Creator of AutoFixture (https://github.com/AutoFixture/AutoFixture).

Location

The event will take place at The Cube, Aiolou 73, Athens. If the weather permits we will use the terrace, otherwise we will fallback to one of the indoor spaces available. The presentation and discussion will be in English.
