Explore DDD 2017 – Denver, Sept. 21-22

This talk brought a unique and practical perspective on what it is like, this experience of building up models, fleshing out designs, and growing a common understanding of the various problem domains at play. Guided by a real example: an appointment scheduling product for healthcare, Yves explored how language, invariants, domain expertise, and deliberate boundaries can influence the models we come up with.

He analyzed, designed, documented, fleshed-out models, architected solutions into bite-sized portions, wrote automated test specifications at the unit, integration, story, and UI level, wrote code at every layer and tier in the stack, scripted deployments and engaged in the operational side of running software at customer sites, all in order to satisfy requirements and customer happiness.

Yves is a facilitator during agile planning meetings, teacher during coding dojos, presenter during knowledge transfer sessions, are but a few of his past efforts.
