MAIN TOPIC ABSTRACT
Using DDD Design Patterns for Supple Design
Come on a guided tour of how applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) building block patterns can make your code cleaner, more expressive, and more amenable to change. We cover examples of DDD patterns such as entities, value objects, closure of operations and side-effect-free functions. We will focus particularly on how implementing value objects can lead to more supple design.
When good design really matters, DDD building block patterns enable your design to model the business domain you are working with more richly. They allow you to collaborate with domain experts to build deep, useful models of the domain in your code that solve difficult business problems with elegance and simplicity.
This is a highly interactive modeling session which walks through diagrams and code samples to demonstrate how the application of these patterns to modeling can make writing and reading coding fun again, while improving the effectiveness of the code you write. Come prepared to think, ask and answer questions, and learn how to write the best code where it matters most.

BASIC CONCEPTS ABSTRACT
Literate Programming with Dexy
Dexy, the most powerful, flexible documentation tool ever, helps you make your docs sexy. If you want to make tutorials, API documentation rich in examples or a Knuth style "literate program" without keeping files in synch by hand, dexy is the tool for you. By managing dependencies between code, compiling and output and integrating with the powerful Jinja2 templating language. This talk will explore these features using examples.
