We all know that Colorado has become one of the leading startup incubators in the nation, but success for many software firms is dependent upon the design of their solution, not the technology by which it is delivered … and that’s why Denver may have the upper hand.
Denver’s Software Design community has been growing quickly in recent years and leaders within this field, such as Paul Rayner and Vaughn Vernon, have taken a special interest in helping Denver develop as a center of software design excellence. Thrown into this mix is the practice of Domain Driven Design (DDD). While many people have heard of DDD, not many people have a clear understanding of what it is and how it can help them.
Formally established in the mid-2000s, DDD has recently gained more popularity as not only a great way to improve the quality of a software solution, but also as an approach to improve the relationships and structure of a company. Its straightforward, communication and relationship-based approach to software design reduces the complexity and assumptions found in many software solutions. Proper application of DDD yields code that is built more quickly, contains less errors, and (most importantly) is congruent with the business’ needs and goals.
From July 22nd to July 25th, Vaughn Vernon is offering a 4 day workshop teaching the skills of Domain Driven Design. Vaughn and his team of DDD experts will guide the attendees through the various concepts of DDD and relate them to his book Implementing Domain Driven Design. This is a great training for both newbies and experts alike.
For a hometown, Built In Denver discount, Vaughn is offering a limited amount passes for $495. Class size will be limited, but opportunities to meet and mingle with the leaders of Denver software design community are worth every penny.
