How to introduce Domain Driven Design to co-programmers?

Question

Tomorrow i need to show small presentation about DDD approach.

It should contain 2 main points:
"What is Domain Driven Design?"
"How can we use it?"

I would be glad if i could see some ideas how to 'implement' first point of my 'presentation interface'.

Asking because I'm not making presentations everyday and i`m little bit confused.

Answer 1

Amis,

Is to translate the current slide to your needs (its in portuguese-brazil) -> Slide

Explain that DDD isnt a tech or methodology, but is more like an approach that gather various concepts, techniques and principles with focus on domain logic.

Explain about ubiquitous language, Layered architecture, Domain Patterns, and diffs about current approach and ddd approach, later on enlighten then with the benefits of using DDD over the current methods and add a conclusion on your presentation..

Hopes it helped ya.

Answer 2

Somewhat hard to understand whether your problem is a lack of DDD knowledge, or just how to present it.

"What is Domain Driven Design" - grab a good overview from http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly

"How can we use it". You can't really just "use it". You must identify the parts of it that makes sense for your business.

• You can take advantage of the big focus on understanding and modeling the business, and creating a common language in speech, code and documentation.
• You can use ideas related to software architecture, like using repositories, entities and value objects.
• You can take note of the principles for good design and code quality, like intention-revealing interfaces, side-effect-free functions, etc.
• You can try to pass on knowledge of refactoring, and strategies relating to larger systems.

Some are low hanging fruit in concept understanding, others are hard to impose without personal interest.
