Hello everyone!

I have finally release Chapter 4 - Integrating Bounded Contexts (Part 1)

Yes, you have probably read it right, Part 1! There is so much in this one chapter to cover, that I had to split it into two parts. Part 2 already has the script done, but recording and editing are still in the planning phase.

The one thing that stuck with me, with this first part of the chapter, was the fact that how people collaborate actually reflects how projects integrate with each other. As a developer, I always understood that politics in companies had an impact in projects and how they are done, but I never really understood that impact.

This chapter makes it very clear - it tells you how personal/team relationships affect the project integration and what tactics you can use in your code (yes code) to deal with it. There is also a segway here to be done in regards to Conway’s Law but I leave that treat for the reader to reflects on their own, besides the video is already long enough !

In this video I went more with a lecture approach, creating graphs, slides and trying to hon in a presentation style that is more academic in nature. I am not doing this for views, so it doesn’t make sense to focus on being flashy and cool, it makes more sense to expose information in a clear manner that others understand easily.

With this said, please do note I am always open to constructive criticism and if you have any tips for improvement feel free to share them, as I also want my videos to be enjoyable for people willing to learn DDD !

I hope you all like this video and enjoy it and learn something!

I have compiled my thoughts of the first chapter in a small video and tried to combine it with other knowledge I think most people forgot.

To me, the most interesting part of this research was the absolute delight of being able to read the Nato’s report on software engineering from 1968, and how strangely relevant it still feels today:

Let me know what you all think of the first chapter. Suggestions for the video format are also appreciated, since I am still learning this and make a best effort to improve.

I have that book. I will be joining in! Since I am all about F# these days, I’ll share my thoughts through a sharp lens!
