Domain-Driven Design

"Domain-Driven Design is an approach to software development that centers the development on programming a domain model that has a rich understanding of the processes and rules of a domain. The name comes from a 2003 book by Eric Evans that describes the approach through a catalog of patterns. Since then a community of practitioners have further developed the ideas, spawning various other books and training courses. The approach is particularly suited to complex domains, where a lot of often-messy logic needs to be organized." -- Martin Fowler (link)

Rules

  1. Follow programming.dev rules
  2. Be excellent to each other, no hostility towards users for any reason
  3. No spam of tools/companies/advertisements. It’s OK to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the community should not be self-promotion.

Watching Brandolini is fun. He always have fun slides to look at and a humorous way to express his ideas. This talk is no exception. There are two things I would like to highlight:

  1. Brandolini thinks using Lo-Fi tools (like sticky notes, pen and paper) is superior to digital alternatives because when using them you focus is modelling instead of tidying the diagram. He says: "Digital tools are changing your brain priorities. I enter a session to model, and I find myself aligning rectangles and making arrows clear."
  2. Following the domain expert wherever they go is not necessarily a good idea. In many cases, the domain expert will push for a quick fix in the system instead of aligning the code base with the business and that will not be beneficial in the long run.
