How many design patterns and principles can you name as developer? Are they important? Should we not rather focus on delivering features, as long as it works?
It's a non-trivial balance between reasonably designing our systems, with well-laid-out structures that communicate the intentions, or over-engineering them. This workshop shows which design principles effective developers should know about, why they should care, and most importantly, how to productively approach design and architecture. We'll have a look at the SOLID principles, will see why the chosen design is more important than the actual technology choices, what's behind crafting maintainable test code, and what to know about Domain-Driven Design. All of that with the goal of keeping a high velocity and creating beautifully crafted code.
