Description

(This is a hands-on lab with limited capacity)

Get ready to dive into the exciting world of domain modelling.

In this interactive guided workshop, you'll have the opportunity to apply your existing coding skills and improve your domain modelling skills in a hands-on environment.

We'll provide you with the domain knowledge and scenarios you need to design a working model using your chosen programming language. The questions and exercises are designed to challenge you and incrementally evolve your model.

This hands-on improves when done collaboratively. We encourage you to work in pairs or small groups and share your knowledge with the other participants.

Prerequisites

  • you need a laptop or pair with someone
  • one person in the pair needs to be proficient with one of these programming language: typescript, java, python, c# - and maybe some more
