Description

This is a hands-on lab with limited capacity.

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

About Baptiste Macé

Software Engineer driven by the ambition to bring fresh perspectives to every project. My expertise lies in identifying "pain points" and implementing tailored solutions, always with a client-centric mindset: software should serve its users.

A firm believer in the need for degrowth, I integrate environmental concerns into my professional actions. I’m also committed to communication efforts aimed at raising awareness and inspiring mindset shifts, convinced that meaningful change requires collective consciousness.

As a humanist, I dedicate half a day each week to social initiatives, striving to contribute to a fairer and more inclusive world. 🌍💻
