Building the “Good Enough” Framework(keithelder.net)

submitted by cwoodruff(780) 3 years, 8 months ago

At DevLink a few weeks we held open spaces on the theme of “good enough”. I started a topic on building internal application frameworks and re-usable code bases, thus the title. This was an interesting topic to me because my role at work the last several months has been to create this very thing. It is an interesting hat to wear because instead of a team’s clients being entrenched in the business, the clients are fellow developers. The question is how do you go about building this type of framework and what are the things you should watch out for as you go down this path. Below are notes taken from this open space session along with other guidance. Please feel free to continue this conversation here and within your own blogs. read more...

Episode 6: Talking Domain-Driven Design with David Laribee - Part 1(deepfriedbytes.com)

submitted by cwoodruff(780) 3 years, 10 months ago

Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to the design of software, based on two premises. For most software projects, the primary focus should be on the domain and domain logic (as opposed to being the particular technology used to implement the system) and complex domain designs should be based on a model. David Laribee sat down with the hosts Keith and Woody to discuss this growing design practice and also discuss how it could be used with the .NET platform. read more...

Why is it best for you to give more than you take?(blog.cloudsocket.com)

submitted by cwoodruff(780) 3 years, 10 months ago

So with a lot of new energy around the Community there is a need to clarify some of my thoughts around why we as Community Leaders give and for what reasons. I would be lying of I said that I did all the speaking, helping to lead a .NET User Group and volunteer to work on community events totally out of the goodness of my heart. I can tell you that I try to give more than I take from these endeavors in the community. My wife can agree with that statement when she sees the spending I do for the travel, lodging and food for the events and also the time away from my family. She knows and understand the reasons why I work so hard for the Community. So why do I do what I do? read more...
