Domain Driven Design is alive and well. A quick Google will lead you to the yahoo newsgroup Where the experts hang out and participate in some insightful conversations. I'm not sure what the view of the wider community is' but I think DDD has it's place in the design of large multi context systems such as those you find in the enterprise. One opinion that i've formed is that DDD is not necessary, and too heavy weight, for single purpose web applications which have minimal external interactions or dependencies. There are certainly concepts within DDD which i'd consider general purpose design best practices, such as ubiquitous language, so knowledge of DDD is desirable for anyone seeking to be a well rounded developer. Would be interesting to hear if others have found DDD useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
