Domains & Models Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain is something in the real-world Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain is the subject of our project Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain is understood by experts in the space Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain Model is a representation of the Domain Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain Model is an abstraction of reality Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
A Domain Model is expressed as diagrams, words, code Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob

Ubiquitous Language is The agreed concepts, meanings and terms for the project Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
You have to talk! Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob
Ubiquitous Language is Foundational to implementing Domain Driven Design Rob Allen | @akrabat | social.akrabat.com/@rob

How are you supposed to organise your models in an MVC application? What goes where? What is a service class, a mapper or an entity? Domain Driven Design focusses on modelling the domain logic and helps us to map the business requirements to our software. We’ll discuss the terminology and take a look at what Domain Driven Design is and see how you use it to provide the model logic for your application decoupling it from your controllers. By the end of this session you will be equipped to create excellent, maintainable models in your application.
