Domain-Driven Design is a team sport. Here’s my story of what can and cannot be accomplished with a team size of one. by Edward Barnard

This month presents a relatively quick code walkthrough even though this feature is more complex than the previous chapter. We’ll see the structure is similar to the Domain Event feature. We’ll focus on those points important to developing your instinct with Strategic Domain-Driven Design. by Edward Barnard

The July 2022 article “Structure by Use Case” introduced the Bounded Context pattern, which we’ll be using over and over as we structure our software by use case. This month we’ll continue exploring these concepts as we implement the global Domain Event store. by Edward Barnard

One of the best feelings you can have is a “lightbulb moment.” Whether it’s a great idea or clarity of understanding on a problem you are working on, coding practice, architecture, design pattern, or some other paradigm, that moment when you can connect the dots and make sense of something that moments earlier seemed utterly […]

Designing for failure is difficult because it’s usually not practical to predict every possible thing that could go wrong. Last month we got the preliminary “spadework” out of the way. This month we begin our first feature. This feature creates a mechanism for capturing those “random and rare” failures.

Each business has its set of problems that developers need to solve. In DDD, those problems describe how the business works and the user flows – the so-called Problem Space. On the other side, when we want to provide functionality by writing the code to solve those problems, this is Solution Space. DDD is about […]

This month John and Eric discuss some of the greater articles coming in the June 2022 release, “Another Bright Idea”. If you enjoy coding in PHP and have a Philips Hue smart bulb, this month’s feature article, ‘Illuminating Smart Light Bulbs With PHP,’ from Sherri Wheeler, is for you. She shares a great package and […]

I thank my lucky stars that I am not a superstitious person, knock on wood, and I really don’t want to jinx it, but we have a good problem. We have so many great feature articles in the pipeline, and I think it’s important to let everyone know what an awesome job the PHP community […]

This month we begin the preliminary “spadework” to set up our project. We’ll be taking a hands-on “code first” approach to implementing Strategic Domain-Driven Design. by Edward Barnard

If you listen to my PHPUgly podcast, you might know that we have a policy of not mixing politics with our tech talk. That is a policy we have been breaking more and more often over the past couple of years.
