Last evening (Thursday) I had the pleasure of being asked to speak at the monthly meeting of the Philadelphia Alt.NET User Group. As mentioned previously in this post here, I delivered my “Pragmatic Implementation Patterns for Domain Driven Design in .NET” presentation to an enthusiastic audience of about 40-50.
A big thanks to everyone who took [...]
Next Thursday evening (2/4/2010) from 6:00pm-9:00pm I’ll be speaking at the Philadelphia Alt.NET user group on real-world Domain Driven Design implementation patterns in .NET.
The full title of the session is going to be “Lessons from the Trenches: Pragmatic Implementation Patterns for DDD in .NET” and the overview synopsis will be:
In this session, we’ll take a [...]
Readers of this blog may recall that Eric Evans (author of the canonical book in the field and considered by most to be ‘the father of Domain Driven Design’) gave a presentation to the NYC DDD User Group (of which I am a regular member) several months ago.
At that time, many asked if the presentation [...]
In case you are interested in following along and couldn’t attend our recent January 2009 ALT.NET NYC user group meeting on Domain Driven Design, one of my fellow group organizers (Alex Hung) has just posted the full videos to VIMEO for general viewing.
In addition to our regular attendees, this time our group was also joined [...]
I just gave a talk at last week’s ALT.NET NYC user group introducing Domain Driven Design (DDD) as a pattern language and included in there was a slide expressing my opinion “Once: its a fluke, twice: its a coincidence, three times: its a pattern” intended to posit the idea that patterns evolve from our observations [...]
As 2008 comes to an end and 2009 starts to ramp up, I thought it might be interesting (for me at least!) to look back at some of the important events and changes in 2008 that have most impacted my professional life as a software developer.
The Year of Community
If I had to sum-up what 2008 [...]
The other day I received some feedback on the way the Domain Model in the Autumn of Agile series is shaping up. The relevant parts of the e-mailed comments are as follows…
I am a little confused about where to put the business rules. Into model objects or in a higher level layer (such as a [...]
Summer of NHibernate Feedback: this isn’t real!
During my production of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series, I have routinely received questions from viewers that tend to want me to dig into more real-world issues that come into play in the development of a non-demo/non-sample application. Since the focus of the code samples in the NHibernate [...]
The next installment of the Summer of NHibernate Screencast series is now available for general download!
In this session we explore the NHibernate SchemaExport class and start to exercise its ability to generate our database schema directly from our hbm.xml mapping files. In addition, we touch briefly on some of the relative advantages of DDD (Domain [...]
The latest installment of the Summer of NHibernate screencast series is now available for download.
I will warn potential viewers in advance that this session is heavily focused on techniques and approaches that tend to contradict most Domain-Driven-Design/Development practices so please don’t waste your time telling me this — I know it already . Leveraging NHibernate [...]
