Architects Forum XXV – N-Layer DDD Architecture and .NET 4.0 (March 24th 2010)

Cesar De la Torre

Platform Architecture TeamForo de Arquitectos XXV - Arquitecturas N-Layer Orientadas al Dominio (DDD) con .NET 4.0 y AppFabric

[UPDATED – April 2017] – IMPORTANT:  For up-to-date architecture and development guidance using .NET (i.e. .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, Docker containers, etc.) including Domain-Driven Design patterns, microservices architectures and other .NET related technologies like Xamarin for mobile apps check this landing page pointing to multiple NEW guides and reference applications:

https://www.microsoft.com/net/architecture/

Specifically, most of the DDD (Domain-Driven Design) patterns explained in the guidance written in 2010/2011 are still valid nowadays, however all the technologies have evolved significantly. Also, many new architecture patterns like Microservices Architecture which is deriving from Domain-Driven Design.

  • For an up-to-date guide/eBook on Microservices/Containers Architecture with .NET Core, check this:

  • For an up-to-date reference application on Microservices/Containers Architecture with .NET Core, check this:

Thanks,

– UPDATED on March 25th 2010 –

Cool!, So yesterday we run this event and it was great!!, there were almost 200 people and great feed-back! 🙂

So, here I post the presentations we delivered and also, and the most important, the ARCHITECTURE content we just made publish in MSDN-SPAIN and CODEPLEX:

On March 24th 2010 we’ll deliver in Madrid an special Architects Forum edition where we’ll present a first draft/beta of our ‘N-Layer DDD Architecture and .NET 4.0 Guide’ that we’ve been working on during the last several months!!

We’ll give you a book (to all attendees) with a printed draft/beta version of this proposed Architecture.

Note that this proposed Architecture is based on DDD (Domain Driven Design) Architectural Styles and SOLID principles (Single Responsability Principle, Open-Close Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle and Dependency Inversion Principle). Therefore (because of DDD orientation), it is made for complex apps where you have a lot of business/domain logic and also it is an App with a long-live where you want it to be protected from technology changes that could occur in the future (through Domain Layer isolation and decoupling techniques like IoC and Dependency Injection using UNITY, etc.). This Architecture is not for a small app, that has not many future changes, where what you normally want is a RAD (Rapid App Development) approach. This proposed Architecture is not a RAD approach.

The URL where you can register is the following. Btw, registration is open again, current room is bigger than the initial room 🙂
