Build Stuff'16 Lithuania

As you know, naming stuff is one of the two hard things in Computer Science. And we fail at it every time we create another Manager or Service, or when we follow "framework conventions". Those of us living in OOP world desperately need better abstractions.  And Functional Programming is no panacea since we still need DDD practices to guide our design. Regardless of your background, this talk is designed (pun intended) to help you improve your names and naming habits. No need to reinvent the wheel - we will steal ideas from Eric Evans, Uncle Bob, Kent Beck and other experts.

Before the turn of the century, much ado was made about CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools and how they would simplify the process of delivering solutions. With the advent of Agile development processes, CASE tools were eschewed as being associated with BDUF. CASE Tools, including UML and E-R Designers, were relegated to the halls of academia and for illustrations in books on design patterns. Along with eschewing the tools of waterfall development, the industry also forgot some of the lessons learned by waterfall practitioners regarding good object modeling.

 

In this session, Michael Brown will serve as an archaeologist of sorts, giving participants a tour of approaches to leverage UML as a tool for discovery, verification, and rapid enhancement of a Domain Driven business solution.
