Architecture

• Ubiquitous Language
• Language structured around the Domain Model
• Domain experts express their jargon while
  developers speak another
• The Domain Model is the backbone, use the same
  language in diagrams, writing and speech!

Architecture

• The Domain Model influence
• Create a model from scratch?
• Wait till we have a good enough model to start
  development?
• Developers, I cant start, dont have all the
  requirements!
• Stakeholders, What have you done for me lately?
• Hey have you heard of RIM? - George

14
Architecture

• The RIM Domain!
• The Domain is ready now!
• Nails the Think Globally, Act Locally adage!
• Incredible design hints in the form of RMIMs
• The RIM in the context of application development
  is very productive!
• The RIM in the context of integration and
  messaging, oh well ?

15
Architecture

• The RIM Domain Driven Design
• Focus on the Domain and Domain Logic
• Complex design based on Model
• Logic is separated from Infrastructure
• Vital DDD Patterns
• Bounded Context
• Aggregate Root
• Command and Query Seperation
• Services, Specification and more

Agile RIM

• If you dont know where you are going, any road
  will take you there.
• - Lewis Carroll

18
Agile RIM

• An agile process that emphasizes frequent
  feedback from users and domain experts,
• the availability of real domain experts and a
  creative collaboration with them,
• a single and shared version of the model (in the
  application and test code) precisely defined in
  terms of the Ubiquitous Language, and
• an open and transparent environment that promotes
  learning and exploration.
