Building an Event Sourced System: Session 1 - Event Storming
Details
We will be starting to build a new system this week. The session will focus on event storming requirements. BUSINESS FRIENDLY / TECHIE KNOWLEDGE OPTIONAL.
Please note new format:
-
5pm to 5:30pm - Intro to event sourced systems and software design (for new attendees or as a refresher / Q & A)
-
5:30pm to 7pm - event storming, mob programming. We implement a new system from scratch every six weeks.

Like other practices, applying undistracted attention to your domain takes years to hone. Instead of traditional user story mapping, we'll be using Event Storming to explore the goals and mechanics of a solution. With the proper abstractions in place, the next steps in organizing your solution for scalability becomes clear - how does the CAP Theorem affect your solution?
At this meetup we'll take on any example domains or work on open-source projects where this can be explored. Focus can shift from Domain Driven Design to Command Query Responsibility Segregation to Event Sourcing - depending on who's attending that day.
There's a handful of experienced practitioners in town, and you can find them here to help you understand this excellent approach to building software.
