  • Using the Domain Driven Design Bounded Context Concept to Shrink a Large Domain Model

    Bounded Context concept from Domain Driven Design (DDD) can be used to divide a large model into smaller models using the Database Context (DbContext class) in Entity Framework (EF). Bounded Context creates smaller, more cohesive models with boundaries between models.

He discussed how to manage domain state transitions in a Domain-Driven Design project. He also talked about Command Query Separation (CQS) design concept to keep the design cleaner and easier to test and maintain.

  • Is There a Symbiosis Between SOA and DDD?

    As the complexity of the real-life problems grows, it becomes obvious that in order to solve them, it is often necessary to combine multiple techniques. One example of a good symbiotic relationship is that between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Domain Driven Design (DDD).

  • Object Relational Mapping - User Case Studies

    Roberto Zicari, from ODBMS.org, collected interviews and stories from several users of Object/Relational mapping technologies. The main point of the cases was around "impedance mismatch" between the object technology in the domain model and the relational technology in the data model.
