Abstract: “DDD: The God that Failed?”
DDD is rarely applied ‘properly’. When directed at the right sort of problem and executed well, DDD is a valid solution. But DDD is over-used, misunderstood, misapplied, deified, and just downright bastardized. It is a small core concept that has gargantuan consequences throughout the solution.
Thankfully, there are alternatives. By following the Single Responsibility Principle at an architectural level, we can create a suite of small, decoupled services with high internal cohesion. These services can be composed and orchestrated in many different ways to solve business problems.

Venturing into the unknown building TendoJobs.com
A talk by Michael Cropper, founder of Tendo Jobs, which looks at the technical aspects behind building a tech startup. Starting with the skills required to bring your idea to life, should you be a specialist or a generalist? Then looking at the underlying frameworks, technologies and design patterns required to build solid foundations for growth and scale while keeping things as simple as possible to avoid technical pitfalls. Through to how to deal with the inherent unpredictability of software development to avoid wasting endless time debugging problems that should have never existed in the first place. Looking through the entire process, pitfalls we’ve experienced and how we minimise risk throughout our development using the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern.
