Kurs: Applied Domain Driven Design - Greg Young

This course focuses on Applied DDD. This means that while the concepts will be explained by Greg Young, we will have a heavy focus on creating working (Java⁄C#) code. We will go through the different concepts and turn each concept into a working solution which you can apply without too much effort in your own domain. The group will also be small (limited to 12 persons) to facilitate interaction between course members.

To get the most out of this course, it is recommended (though not strictly required) to go through the Domain Driven Design book by Eric Evans, Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software. This way you will have a solid basis for the more advanced topics in the course.

Basic knowledge of object modeling, design, and architecture.

Experience with Service Oriented Architecctures is a plus and a working understanding of Domain Driven Design will help facilitate students to understand the more advanced material in the course.te
