Read Eric Evans on why DDD Matters Today.
In the interview, Eric Evans puts DDD into modern context and explains why DDD is relevant today, how DDD fits into today's development platforms (Java, .NET, etc), and what's been new in the DDD world since 2003.
At the recent Spring Experience conference, InfoQ did a video interview with Eric which will appear on InfoQ in the coming months. One of the questions answered was what are the minimal practices required for one to say they are doing DDD? Eric responded that the two main ones are using the ubiquitous language, and also the bounded context pattern.
