Spring One (day2) : Keynote




This keynote describes the Spring Portfolio starting with a really funny (crazy?) show of Adrian with a duck and a chicken hand puppets... in a personal interpretation of DuckTyping.

Interesting info: Spring projects will now have a release train "a la" Eclipse.




Second speaker is Eric Evans. Another soothing/sleep inducing voice, yet an interesting talk about the concepts of Model/Domain driven design.
I can't wait to read his book I just bought yesterday. ;)
Really hard to sum-up again. I'll be glad to see it on Parley.

I liked the idea that quality of the code produced by a team is usually driven by the 2nd worst programmer, because all the team is already focusing on the very known worst programmer and doing damage control ;).

The conclusion is that one should establish a Context Map of a system and build an anti-corruption layer. I think I'll elaborate on this in a future post because this is really interesting, and this post is getting messy :P

A very nice analogy of these context maps is living cells in organisms.


In the end Eric Evans'talk was a great non-technical talk!
