Value objects, Entities and Domain events. These design patterns from the Domain-Driven Design discipline deserve some explanation, and most of all: some practicing.

This workshop offers both. We'll talk about the characteristics of these objects in your application. I'll provide lots of design tips and tricks. Switching all day between theory and practice, we'll work on improving the design of existing classes as well as creating classes from scratch.

You'll leave the room as a better object-oriented programmer, ready to apply design principles like command/query separation, immutability, and encapsulation to your domain model.

Target audience

During the workshop we'll use a PHP sandbox project, so it helps if you know some PHP. But if you're working with other object-oriented languages, you should be fine as well. Some experience with unit testing will be helpful, but not crucial.

Time and Location

The workshop day is from 9:30 to 17:00, with two short breaks in the morning and afternoon, and one longer lunch break. For lunch we will visit SiamoQua.

The workshop will be hosted by Docplanner at Carrer de Pallars, 194, 08005 Barcelona.
