InfoQ Presentation: Eric Evans on DDD - Strategic Design
In this talk, Eric Evans introduces two broad principles for strategic design. 'Context mapping' addresses the fact that different groups model differently and 'Core domain' distills a shared vision of the system's core domain and provides a systematic guide to when good enough is good enough versus when to push for excellence.

OOP: Thinking beyond verb/noun metaphor to yield a better design
In OOP, objects are traditionally coupled with actions that determine their behavior, implemented as objects’ methods. Reg Braithwaite argues that, in some cases, it may be relevant to dissociate the two. Traditional approach to OOP is also questioned by Buko Obele who advocates for going beyond the verb/noun metaphor that is often used to approach object oriented design.

User-Centric Development Approaches: What's Next?
On her Creating Passionate Users blog, Kathy Sierra recently envisioned software that's not just usable, but transparent, helping users achieve "flow" in their work without intrusive distractions, delays or constraints. Perhaps end-user "flow" is the next big differentiator - and if so, what will the development processes look like that support the creation of such software?
