The core of any complex application built with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is the *domain model*. Unfortunately, many developers (and let's be honest, most agents trained on the vast majority of available code) struggle to build effective domain models that aren't just anemic data records.

In this code-heavy session, you will learn to identify common domain model deficiencies, and see how to refactor them to improve their design. Prior experience with DDD is helpful but not required. DDD patterns including Aggregates, Entities, Value Objects, and more will be demonstrated in the course of the session, along with clear explanations of the problems they're being introduced to solve.

Attendees will leave this session with a better understanding of what makes an effective domain model, all of the slides and demo source code, and tips for training coding agents to leverage these patterns.
