Software design can have a very slow feedback loop: by the time you find out if the architectural and design decisions you made were the right ones, it may be too late for drastic changes. As developers, we tend to phrase all problems as technical problems, which can be sufficiently challenging i...

DDD for Messaging Architectures

6 x 3.5h remote workshop with Mathias Verraes

Message-oriented architectures require different ways of reasoning about system design, domain modelling, evolutionary architectures… DDD is exceptionally suitable for this: its fundamental principles are universal to software design. This workshop takes a highly practical approach to improve your toolkit for reasoning about event-driven architectures.

Applied individually, the design patterns in DDD are useful, but are not giving you the full potential. In this workshop, the focus is not merely on the implementation details of the patterns. Instead, we’ll discuss the underlying principles and heuristics for building great domain-centric object-oriented code.

Modeling Heuristics

Two day workshop with Mathias Verraes

The best way to learn to navigate the complex world, is to dive head first in the chaos. Modelling is more than information management. It’s complexity management, especially with today’s ever increasing demands on software. As always with complex problems, a diverse set of app...

Tactical Domain-Driven Design

One day workshop with Mathias Verraes

The design patterns from Domain-Driven Design are gradually entering the collective consciousness of software developers. But most of the information out there, focuses on mechanistic implementation details of the patterns: how to make an Entity in [insert favourite programming language],...
