JavaZone 2009 - Domain Driven Design in the Enterprise and the hardship of API design
StatoilHydro has practiciezed Domain Driven Design since 2004, and over these years we have experienced that some things are more difficult than others, some things more demanding than others and some things more valuable than others. There are two things that stands out in this context, the value of the ubiquitous language, and the hardship of API design.
The importance of good API design are not though in school, and not much is written. On the other hand, good API's is the foundation of good software, and with SOA it become even more important.
In this talk we will share our experience from designing and integrating some of our largest software systems where Domain Driven Design has been successfully applied. Examples of successful and not so successful APIs will be provided.
