Here are the slides and here is the code from my presentation today. Once again, a big thank you to all who attended, you were all very helpful to me!

As I said before my book should be out in April of 2008…it sure is a lot of work doing a book all by myself :)

Issue #1: What data type to use for my domain object keys

Tim McCarthy — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 21:36:00 GMT

In my book, one of the first issues that I am running into is trying to determine what data type to use for the domain object keys in my application. I am using a SQL Server database, and I am not sure if I will be using guids or integer keys yet, so I think I will just use a data type of System.Object (a la Rocky’s CSLA).

Later on I might refactor this into a Key [Fowler PoEAA p 224] class if I need to.

I am putting this Key property in my domain model’s Layer Supertype class.

The source code for my book's case study application now has a home

I now have a CodePlex project set up for the case study code for the book. I love CodePlex, it is the great TFS in the sky!

I am writing a book on Domain-Driven Design

Tim McCarthy — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 23:07:00 GMT

I have been talking to people about this for a while, so I figured I’d blog about it too. Actually, I promised my friends over at the Domain-Driven Design Yahoo group that I would! The full title of the book is .NET Domain-Driven Design with C#: Problem-Design-Solution, and it will be published by Wiley Publishing, Inc.

The idea behind the book is that it will be a case-study book…a real-world application that uses Domain-Driven Design (DDD) concepts. After reading other bloggers’ posts, and hearing people ask for real-world examples on the DDD Yahoo group, I have decided to write a book that addresses this exact topic. The book is due to be completed at the end of the year, and will probably be out in early 2008.

My plan is to put some of the issues I run into on this blog and/or the DDD Yahoo group and see what other people have to say about their solutions to similar problems.
