I am collaborating with the patterns & practices team. We are considering doing a guidance project on implementing systems using the Command & Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) approach.

We completed the IASA-DDD Conference! (November 7th 2011)

Cesar De la Torre

It was a remarkable DDD (Domain Driven Design) event in Madrid, Spain. We got around 150 attendees!!, and taking into account that this is the inaugural event from the IASA-Spain association, and this association was almost unknown in Spain, until now, it is something I must highlight. Of course, having the keynotes delivered by Eric Evans and...

Implementing a Value-Object Base class (Supertype pattern–DDD patterns related)

June 6, 2011 Jun 6, 2011 06/6/11

Cesar De la Torre

It is usually a recommended practice to have Value-Object base-class so we can have common functionality which can be used by all of our value-object classes.
