DDD OVERVIEW:

- Build your awareness of the basic concepts and value of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in one day.

- Understand what DDD is and when and why it is valuable to software intensive organizations.

- Overview the basic principles and processes needed develop the useful sort of models, tie them into implementation and business analysis, 

   and place them within a viable, realistic strategy.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Any person seriously involved in software development, including developers, technical leaders, analysts, development managers and non-technical business experts.

PREREQUISITES

Recommend some experience with projects developing complex software systems. Familiarity with iterative development processes.

TOPICS INTRODUCED

Morning: Ubiquitous Language & Model Discovery

•  What is DDD?

•  What makes a model useful to a software project?

•  Cultivation of a model-based language to connect domain experts, developers, and the code itself

•  Exploratory interaction of technical and business people in the modeling process

•  Aggregates: A taste of rigor. This pattern addresses, at the model level, the scaling of systems in complexity, performance, and distribution.

Afternoon: Strategic Design

•  Distilling the Core Domain: Focusing fine modeling and design into those subdomains where the organization distinguishes itself

•  Clarifying a shared vision

•  Context Mapping: A pragmatic approach to dealing with the diversity models and processes on real large projects with multi-team/multi-subsystem development.

•  Combining the Core Domain and Context Map to illuminate Strategic Design options for a project
