OOPSLA 2007 Montreal

Interview

Rebecca Wirfs-Brock is one of those people who did DDD long before it was called that. She kindly agreed to be interviewed by Vladimir Gitlevich on behalf of domaindrivendesign.org. In this interview, Rebecca talks about DDD in relation with responsibility-driven design and OO modeling, integration of DDD with technical frameworks such as Hibernate. She also gives advice on telling design stories and explaining domain models. Watch interview here.

Markus is the author of several magazine articles, patterns and books and is a regular speaker at conferences world wide. He is also the founder and editor of Software Engineering Radio. In this interview Markus speaks with Vladimir Gitlevich about domain-specific languages, MDSD and gives us his take on how they fit with DDD. Watch interview here.

OOPSLA 2007 in Montreal is a bit of a milestone in the life of Domain-Driven Design: 5 years since DDD was first introduced at a conference, OOPSLA 2002 in Seattle. Ralph Johnson and Eric Evans held a very informal BoF called "A book in three hours". A small group of people read all the pattern summaries from the yet-to-be-published manuscript of "Domain-Driven Design".

Since then, DDD has grown into a tangible movement in the software design community, adopted on many projects and evolving through experience. This expansion was manifest at OOPSLA 2007, where DDD was a hot topic: a separate Experience Report track dedicated to DDD, two crowded BoF sessions, a presentation of "DDD: The Movie" and lots of discussion.

We decided to see what people think of DDD now. The result is a video coverage of DDD-related events during the conference, including a number of interviews and three experience reports, which we will release here over the next few months.
