DDD’s Strategic Design got a lot of traction over the last years, which is definitely good and necessary. But that doesn’t mean that we should neglect DDD’s Tactical Design.

For this workshop, we will start with a codebase that suffers massively from design rigidity. Together we will refactor the code step by step, following the Supple Design strategies as well as well-known refactoring patterns, and introduce Value Objects, Entities and other tactical elements as we go. This way we will move the codebase in a direction that allows flexible changes and provides clear structures, making working with it fun again.
