Vaughn Vernon is the author of the book Implementing Domain-Driven Design, published by Addison-Wesley. Vaughn is a veteran software craftsman with more than 25 years of experience in software design, development, and architecture. Vaughn is a thought leader in simplifying software design and implementation using innovative methods. Vaughn has been programming with object-oriented languages since the 1980s and applying the tenets of Domain-Driven Design since his Smalltalk domain modeling days in the early 1990s. His experience spans a wide range of business domains. He has also succeeded in technical endeavors creating reusable frameworks, libraries, and implementation acceleration tools.
Vaughn consults and speaks internationally, and has taught his Implementing Domain-Driven Design Workshop on multiple continents. He teaches both public and private classes and workshops, and has presented at conferences such as: SpringOne 2gx; PulsoConf in Bogota, Colombia; QCon; UberConf; IASA ITARC. As an author, Vaughn has contributed to industry literature and software patterns and is a founder of the DDD Denver Meetup group.

Implementing Domain-Driven Designs
Eric Evans' masterful book, Domain-Driven Design, is deep in theory and pattern language, but light on implementation guidance. With so much to offer, DDD should be put to use by many more teams seeking to tackle complexity in the heart of their software systems. However, without clear examples of how behavior-rich domain model implementations are achieved, many who could benefit greatly, instead shy away. Here's your chance to grasp DDD as Vaughn shares his experience through three practical example domain models implemented in Java.
The Domain-Driven Design Metamodel
Is there a metamodel behind domain-driven design? Is it possible to blend a complex external DSL and the concepts of domain-driven design patterns to produce a tool to rapidly implement advanced domain models that strictly adhere to Eric Evans' DDD pattern language? Absolutely, and Vaughn demonstrates how this has been achieved and why the repeatable method is important to you.
Developing a Complex External DSL
The use of a domain-specific language, or DSL, is becoming a realistic and even necessary solution for software developers on all sorts of projects. You've heard about DSLs, and you may know that DSLs are divided into a few different styles, internal and external. But what is an internal DSL and external DSL? When would you decide to use one or the other? And, primarily, how would you go about developing a complex external DSL? This presentation answers these questions, with a focus on developing a complex external DSL.
