Domain Driven Design
Summary
This talk introduces two broad principles for strategic design. 'Context mapping' addresses the fact that different groups model differently. 'Core domain' distills a shared vision of the system's "core domain" and provides a systematic guide to when "good enough" is good enough versus when to push for excellence.

Bio
Eric Evans is a specialist in domain modeling and design in large business systems. Since the early 1990s, he has worked on many projects developing large business systems with objects and has been deeply involved in applying Agile processes on real projects. Eric is the author of "Domain-Driven Design" (Addison-Wesley, 2003) and he leads the consulting group Domain Language, Inc.

About the conference
JAOO is the premier European developer conference on software technology, methods and best practices. The conference presents in-depth presentations and tutorials by researchers, engineers and trend-setters in software engineering and technology.

    Hi Sandeep

    This might be due to the internet connection, as now the video is working fine on both IE and Firefox.

    San Fran presentation

    Dec 3, 2007 4:06 PM by jim weaver

    Hi guys, this presentation is different than the one I attended in SF in November (maybe it's from an earlier conference?). Slides for the version I attended in SF are here:

    qcon.infoq.com/sanfrancisco/presentation/Strate...

    Will the video for this version be posted? Eric added some stuff that was very appropriate for where I work - want to show it to some coworkers.

    Thanks for making this available. I have read Jimmys and Eric books think this way of getting the concept of DDD is excellent.

    I like the way Eric is speaking about DDD but still would like to get more hands on examples...

    I think this is part 2 of the talk from JAOO.

    Some people should be strapped into a chair and forced to watch this Clockwork Orange style ;-)

    Video issues

    Dec 4, 2007 4:48 PM by Steve Macdonald

    I've enountered repeatd video problems on this site. Why not just use YouTube? Anything would be better than the extreme frustration when the video dies 80% through a presentation.

    Please put some effort into this. These problems really are unnaceptable in an IT site in 2007.

    Hi Steve, indeed a minority of our viewers are experiencing a problem with our videos (some due to firewall and others due to who knows). But the good news is that we are indeed working on a youtube-like solution which should be live in early 08. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

    Floyd, any plans to also make these videos downloadable for offline viewing?
    Thanks.

Brian Marick on 4 Challenges and 5 Guiding Values of Agile Software Development

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).

Are You a Software Architect?

The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?

Agile – A Way of Life and Pragmatic Use of Authority

The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.

"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?

Using ITIL V3 as a Foundation for SOA Governance

Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.

SOA as an Architectural Pattern: Best Practices in Software Architecture

For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
