model storming workshop php benelux 2014
DESCRIPTION
Complexity in software hits us late in the game: long after contracts were signed, budgets were approved, and code was written. Big Design Upfront consistently misses the mark, but Agile methodologies don’t answer to the challenge either. Model Storming is an emergent practice in the Domain-Driven Design community, that brings modelling back to all stakeholders. The workshop is similar to a hackathon, where developers tackle a problem as a team. But instead of writing code, you’ll be drawing models. We’ll start by explaining the domain, and then help you on your way to turn this into an expressive model. At regular intervals, we’ll break to discuss insights, and provide with you with new techniques and ideas to help you move forward.

He advises companies on how to build enterprise web applications for complex business domains . For some weird reason, he enjoys working on large legacy projects: the kind where there’s half a million lines of spaghetti code, and nobody knows how to get the codebase under control. He’s the founder of the Domain-Driven Design Belgium community. When he’s not working, he’s at home in Kortrijk, Belgium, helping his two sons build crazy Lego train tracks.TRANSCRIPT
