Exposing the not-so-secret practices of the cult of DDD
For decades, the followers of the Legend of the Ubiquitous Language, have been successfully implementing software solutions in complex domains.
Using the not-so-secret practices outlined by the cult of DDD, they merge the realms of development and business to create understandable and manageable software.
But even if these powerful practices aren't secret, they are shrouded in mystery and complex language. Making them tools used almost exclusively by developers who have studied the ancient book of Evans. A book filled with incantations like "bounded context", "value object" and "anti-corruption layer".
But that ends today! In this session, we will expose some of the most useful DDD practices for what they are. And we will also show you how they can become powerful tools in your developer toolbelt. Even if you do not want to bend your knee to the craftspeople of old, and spend the rest of your career trying to explain the legend of the ubiquitous language to everyone around you.
Chris Klug
Chris Klug has been building software professionally since sometime around 2000, back when .NET was new, CSS was a suggestion, and Roy Fielding’s REST paper had just been published. Since then he has written code for everything from model agencies to online sports betting to professional sail racing, because staying in one industry sounded far too boring.
He has been a Microsoft MVP for something like 15 years (depending on when he last updated this abstract), which either means he knows a thing or two or that he just talks a lot. Possibly both, but we all know the latter is a given. These days he works at Active Solution in Stockholm, helping clients solve problems and build better systems.
When he is not writing code, Chris is usually geeking out on some form of extreme sport like skydiving, kitesurfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or wing foiling. He loves learning new things and spends way too much time thinking about weird stuff most people never even notice.
