Course Description

One major benefit to using Domain-driven Design is the ability to integrate various other sources and processes. This course will explore and guide you through the ways to do this. You will be introduced to communication in Domain-driven Design followed by factories, repositories, and refactoring. Finally, you'll learn about methodologies and application architecture layers.
