"The Beauty of Event Sourcing" + "Axon Framework basics & live coding"

This evening will be all about Event Sourcing.
The first talk will introduce you to event sourcing, explains the basic concepts, shows how to do a simple "hand made" impl in Java and showes more advanced concepts known from Domain Driven Design and how to communicate with Events.
The second talk will introduce you to the Axon Framework, a framework specifically built for Event Sourcing. You'll learn how to apply the learned concepts using Axon Framework in a live coding session.

The Beauty of Event Sourcing
Event Sourcing, despite its powerful properties and applications, is a practice not yet widely adopted by the software engineering community. Event Sourcing is often considered complex to implement and maintain, partially due to the lack of communal knowledge and information. I’ll show the general ideas and benefits of using Event Sourcing, especially in distributed service-oriented systems and go through a simple implementation using plain old Java. The follow-up talk will show how Axon can help build and maintain systems using Event Sourcing.

Axon Framework basics & live coding
The Axon Framework is a powerful tool for building scalable and maintainable applications using Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing. This talk will provide an overview of the core concepts and architecture of the Axon Framework and Axon Server. Following the theoretical introduction, we will implement a small application using the Axon Framework together with Spring Boot.
