Domain Driven Design

Thanks for the talk on Domain Driven Design, Barry!  Reminds me (again) that the key to successful software development is communications.  Tools which aid communications,  such as Use Cases, User Stories, and Domain Driven Design (not to overlook whiteboards, napkins, and outdoor lunches on sunny days) serve to build understanding through common vocabulary and models (as in mental abstractions). 

 

One tidbit I would offer to aspiring designers (though perhaps others will disagree) is that modeling the software system to be built is NOT your first job.  Rather, it is modeling the environment within which the proposed system will live - which will lead to the level of understanding necessary to drive the design of the software system.  (After all - how do you model the software that doesn't exist yet?  It's the business environment which drives the software requirements (or, it should be :) ).)
