Average rating:

(4.00, 2 ratings)

Creating multiple models for the same problem is one of the more important lessons that domain-driven design teaches you. It's a lot cheaper to quickly iterate over them and throw away less-useful prototypes before you even start coding. Kenny Baas-Schwegler and João RosaIn explore how event storming can support modeling software with domain-driven design model-driven building blocks. Read more.

Applying reusability in information architecture

Edwin Maldonado (Independent Consultant)

Software engineers usually find themselves changing hard-coded content on the presentation layer, changing a paragraph here and there; that’s difficult to maintain and hard to scale. Now imagine you have to support and apply the same changes on a website and other devices. Edwin Maldonado outlines the basics so you can design a reusable information architecture. Read more.

Hands-on: Introduction to domain storytelling

Stefan Hofer (WPS - Workplace Solutions), dorota kochanowska (Workplace Solutions)

Average rating:

(3.00, 1 rating)

When you want to apply domain-driven design (DDD), you must first master the domain. In this hands-on examination, Stefan Hofer, and Dorota Kochanowska show you how to build up domain knowledge with domain storytelling. Domain stories help you better understand a domain, identify what is core, segregate bounded contexts, and constitute ubiquitous language. Read more.

Paris Buttfield-Addison (Secret Lab), Mars Geldard (University of Tasmania), Tim Nugent (lonely.coffee), Jon Manning (Secret Lab)

Average rating:

(4.50, 2 ratings)

Paris Buttfield-Addison, Mars Geldard, and Tim Nugent explore game design without coding or game engines. You’ll get a fresh perspective on architecture, design, and community engagement by understanding how people interact with the fastest-growing form of entertainment in the world: games. A software architect can learn a lot from game design; here you'll learn everything you need to get started. Read more.
