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. Diana

    San Fran presentation

    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: http://qcon.infoq.com/sanfrancisco/presentation/Strategic+Design 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.
