The Repository Pattern, according to Martin Fowler, provides a "layer of abstraction over the mapping layer where query construction code is concentrated", to "minimize duplicate query logic". In practice it is usually a collection of data access services, grouped in a similar wa...

They also have identity which forces the domain model to be very expressive in tracking and coordinating their transient states. It would be great if w...

Along with the great agile bloggers at CodeBetter.com, you should take a look at three of the best agile developers/architects I know at ThoughtShapes.com.
