Last night was up there with the best DDD London events we've had.

Firstly we were invited into Zoopla's home to hear from their Peter Sellwood and Dan Ransom talking very openly and candid about how they evolved their org structure and software with a domain-driven approach.

So many great insights and takeaways from this talk.

Getting set up for tonight’s DDD London meet-up at Zoopla’s cool offices.

Looking forward to hearing how they evolved their architecture and org structure around domains, and then hearing Wolfgang Goebl sharing his thoughts on DDD, EntArch, and org design.

And if you have a hankering for a modern Java Spring Boot example, tutorials and blogs such as this one abound:

I'm so happy that I was able to make more great memories at #CphDevFest this week.

Here are the slides for my talk “Architecture Modernization: Aligning Software, Strategy, and Structure” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UmcdsolEuW3zMmy-Ly9EQe-wUT1B0rLF/view

Thanks to everyone who came, and thanks to the organizers. NDC conferences are always brilliant.

I signed up for the @virtualddd Open Space Meetup happening on September 20th! Logged into Gather.town and created my avatar.

This is going to be fun! Check it out here: https://techhub.social/@virtualddd/110831608753228330

👏 Thanks so much to everyone who attended Wednesday's Domain-Driven Design Australia meetup in #Sydney and via the live-stream - it was great to see everyone and share our insights on the Domain-Driven Design Europe conferences! 👏

Looking forward to seeing everyone at September's meetup in #Melbourne - stay tuned for further details and exciting guest speaker announcements soon!

Final call for our next DDD London event happening next week.

Wolfgang Goebl will be connecting business capabilities, organization design and Domain-Driven Design, and Zoopla will be sharing some interesting stories about the evolution of their architecture.

All set for a great event, hope to see you there.

Quick update on my book:

4 out of 17 chapters have passed through copy editing. Target is for all 17 to be completed this month.

AFAIK, we are still on schedule for physical copies to be available this year, possibly 31st October.

Thanks for all of your support. This is a tiring process and every bit of help gives me a tiny extra bit of motivation.

A wooden table is made from wood.

A glass table is made from glass.

Why is a coffee table not made from coffee?

This is actually relevant to domain modelling: sometimes we name things after their properties and sometimes their purpose.

And sometimes we're talking about the same physical thing from the perspective of a different subdomain where it has a different name.

These factors also play a role in determining how we decide to shape boundaries.

We've just announced another #dddLondon event for September.

It's a special hands-on modeling event led by @kenny_baas. Spaces for this one are very limited.

Our next #dddLondon event is on the 4th September, with two quality talks lined up.

Thanks to Zoopla, who will be hosting and delivering the first talk about their architecture journey.

The night's second session will be from Wolfgang Goebl sharing his expertise on Enterprise Architecture, and in particular the overlap between business capabilities and DDD.

Thanks to everyone who made last night's #dddLondon event a great experience.

Thanks to Schroders for hosting the event in their amazing offices, and thanks to our two excellent speakers @bitboss and Yevgen Nebesov 🇺🇦.

There was a good mix of practical advice, ideas to challenge your thinking, and memes.

Only 2 weeks to go until our August meet-up on Wednesday 23rd - this time in #Sydney !

We look forward to having you join us in person, or on the live-stream, for an exciting evening of #DomainDrivenDesign talks, networking - and of course pizza! 🍕 🍺

We're excited to be joined by our meetup hosts @ChrisSimonAu and Sonal Premi recapping two amazing workshops from the Domain-Driven Design Europe
conference.

Did you know we do a book giveaway each month? This month you could win Event Storming by @ziobrando if you're the first to answer a question about the last talk!

We look forward to seeing you there - RSVP for meetup here: https://bit.ly/3ORazFn

Getting prepared for tonight’s edition of #DDDLondon with @bitboss and Yevgen Nebesov.

@peterritchie Possibly, or maybe those are too focused on the details and the name should be focused on the outcome rather than implementation i.e. Domain Storming

If you’re interested in attending or speaking at a domain-driven design conference in the US, then I recommend you check out Explore DDD.

I’ve been to past events and really enjoyed them. It’s a very friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic crowd.

The next one is in March 2024 in Denver.

Looking forward to our next in-person DDD London meet-up on the 10th August.

A huge thank you to Schroders for hosting the event and making it possible.

On the night, we’ll have talks from Michael Plöd and Yevgen Nebesov 🇺🇦, along with plenty of chances to network and socialise.

Hope to see you there.

Missed the deadline by a couple of days, but did manage to finish the manuscript for my book Architecture Modernization.

It will be released to production this week and remains on schedule for the physical copy to be available in October.

Thanks to everyone who has helped. I'm grateful to have received so much feedback and support during the last couple of months.

Thanks to everyone who came out to DDD London last night and a big thanks to ClearBank for hosting.

🐘 Adam Timlett used the example of Life History Theory to show how theories in biology can be analogs for measuring organisations.

🔀 Then Tolga Sofuoglu talked about C4 diagrams. It was a joy to listen to someone who is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about a topic.
