Testing Rich Domain Models
A domain model encapsulates data and behavior together into expressive domain objects. Testing is not only important for verifying domain behavior, but also measuring the suitability of the design. In this session, Chris will show you testing techniques that build confidence in your code and help you improve your design."Improving Application Design with a Rich Domain Model
In this presentation, you will learn how to improve your applications by implementing business logic using a rich domain model. Chris will refactor a procedural design into an object-oriented design and illustrate the benefits of using the object-oriented approach. You will learn how to identify procedural code smells and eliminate them by refactoring your code - something you can start doing the Monday morning after the conference."Books by Chris Richardson
