  • Designing and Storing Aggregates in Domain-Driven Design

    Creating and working with well-designed aggregates is one of the least well understood tactical patterns found in Domain-Driven Design, Vaughn Vernon explains in two articles giving some guidelines to composing aggregate boundaries and alternatives to an ORM when storing them.

  • Using the Domain Driven Design Bounded Context Concept to Shrink a Large Domain Model

    Bounded Context concept from Domain Driven Design (DDD) can be used to divide a large model into smaller models using the Database Context (DbContext class) in Entity Framework (EF). Bounded Context creates smaller, more cohesive models with boundaries between models.

  • Greg Young on using Event Store as a Read Model

    Greg Young, the lead architect behind the Event Store, recently talked about the Projections Library in the Event Store and how it can be used as a Read Model. In his presentation Greg explained what the Projections Library is, together with its main use cases. He also presented a number of examples of practical use.

  • Apache Isis: Java Framework for Domain-Driven Design

    Apache has released Apache Isis, a Java framework for rapidly developing domain-driven applications. Users focus on developing domain objects and Apache Isis takes care of persistence, security and the user interface.

  • Interview: Eric Evans on the State of DDD

    At QCon San Francisco, 2008, Eric Evans answers questions about his recent activities and the evolution of DDD. During the interview he responds to questions about the relationship of DDD to usability, to FIT and FITnesse type testing, technology tools, and domain-specific languages. He also speaks about the DDD community as a whole.

  • SOA and DDD

    In a recent entry, Phillip Calcado asks the question "What Is A Service?" and then goes on to describe how the answer to this lies with Domain Driven Design and ensuring that all stakeholders in an SOA development share the same understanding.

  • Presentation: What Drives Design?

    In this presentation held during OOPSLA 2008, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock reviews various forms of driven development in order to understand the principles and values of several design practices used today.

  • Rapid Application Development using Naked Objects for .NET

    Richard Pawson of Naked Objects offers brief history of the framework and introduction to Naked Objects for .NET. Naked objects can be seen as Domain Driven Design taken to the extreme. With proper annotation, this framework can automatically generate a matching presentation layer in Java or .NET.

  • Is There a Symbiosis Between SOA and DDD?

    As the complexity of the real-life problems grows, it becomes obvious that in order to solve them, it is often necessary to combine multiple techniques. One example of a good symbiotic relationship is that between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Domain Driven Design (DDD).
