DDD eXchange: Phil Wills on Rebuilding guardian.co.uk with DDD
Rebuilding guardian.co.uk with DDD
guardian.co.uk is the three times winner of the Webby for best newspaper on the web and the UK's most popular newspaper website, with over 220 million page impressions a month. Over the past three years the platform driving the site has been almost completely rebuilt, by a team that at its peak numbered 104, with the principles of DDD at the heart of the design.

This presentation reviews how key evolutions of our model were driven by domain experts and how DDD encouraged them to have greater investment in the development process.

It also discusses some low-tech practices and tools which helped the design and implementation of the model and some of the remaining challenges we face in maintaining a deep, malleable domain model, whilst still meeting deadlines and addressing the operational needs of the business.

WANT TO LEARN MORE? THEN CHECK OUT OUR EXPERT WORKSHOPS!

Eric Evans Domain Driven Design Hands-On Immersion Workshop

Eric Evans' 4-day Domain Driven Design Hands-On Immersion Workshop will teach you how to put the domain model to work. This intensive course will teach you how to strike a healthy balance between digging into your subject matter and addressing technological issues, which, while unavoidable, cannot be allowed to dominate the development process for commercially viable systems. We weave together lecture, discussion and classroom exercises, including hands-on coding projects. In discussions, you will have the opportunity to discuss your own experiences and relate your own work to the principles and techniques presented in the class. To find out more, please go here

Greg Young's CQRS, Domain Events, Event Sourcing and how to apply DDD

This 3-day CQRS course covers Domain Events, Event Sourcing and how to apply DDD. Join to learn all about system building and architectures with Domain Driven Design. The largest problem many run into with Domain Driven Design is in getting the abstract concepts implemented in a concrete way. Many of the stereotypical architectures people use actually make it impossible to apply DDD. Greg's course will help you avoid this. To find out more, please go here

Udi Dahan's Advanced Distributed Systems Design with SOA

This very intensive 5-day workshop will help you take the pain out of designing large-scale distributed systems. New technologies make it easier to comply with today’s communications and security standards, but they won't magically provide you with a robust and scalable system. Join Udi for a course packed with the wisdom of companies like SUN, Amazon and eBay. Tried-and-true theories and fallacies will be shown, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. Communications patterns like publish/subscribe and correlated one-way request/response will be demonstrated, in conjunction with advanced object-oriented state management practices for long-running workflows. If you enjoy deep architectural discussion, join! To find out more, please go here
