Course Description

DDD enhances modeling through a total approach for building software for complex domains. With the various tools and strategies in the DDD architecture, the designer will have a more effective approach to domain modeling. In this course, you will learn additional information regarding further components, such as architecture, entities, value objects, services, and domain events. Finally you will learn about the concepts of modules, model-driven design, and aggregates.
