Domain Driven Design - One Week Course

This is the git repository for the one week Domain-Driven Design (“DDD”) course given as part of Software Engineering Programme at Oxford University (website).

All documentation and code will be available via this repo. Please refresh and re-pull if the contents have changed.

Before the course starts:

Ensure your development environment is set up (see below)
Review the course outline
Please work through the prestudy material in the prestudy.md file.

Any questions, please contact me at scott(at)scottwlaschin.com

How to set up your development environment

We will be using F# as our development language. No prior experience with F# is needed -- the prestudy materials will cover the basics of using F# and I will explain everything else as we need it.

1. Please install the F# compiler and an F#-friendly editor

There are instructions at fsharp.org or Ionide.io

Installation instructions for F#:

For Mac: https://fsharp.org/use/mac/
For Windows: https://fsharp.org/use/windows/
For Linux: https://fsharp.org/use/linux/

For a known-to-be F#-friendly editor, I recommend:

Visual Studio Code (all platforms)
JetBrains Rider (all platforms)
Visual Studio (Windows and Mac).

I personally have not used Vim and Emacs for interactive coding in F#, but here are some links on how to use them:

Emacs: fsharp-mode
Vim: Ionide support and a blog post explaining how to use it.

If you would prefer not install on your local system, there are a number of ways to work on a remote VM or to develop in docker container, depending on your environment and editor. For example, VS Code has excellent support for remote development using SSH and for editing in a local docker container.

2. Clone or download this repo locally

If you already have git installed, you can use:

mkdir OxfordDDD
git clone https://github.com/swlaschin/OxfordDDD

If you don't have git installed, you can install it using these instructions. NOTE: we will not be using the features of git in the course, so installing it is not required (see below).

If you don't want to install git, you can download a zip file from the "code" button on the github website as shown in this screenshot:

3. Check that you can run F#

Open the code folder:
- In VS Code, open the /src folder
- In VisualStudio or JetBrains Rider, open the OxfordDDD.sln solution file, then "Solution Items"
Open 00-HelloWorld.fsx and follow instructions to check that F# is working

4. Open the prestudy material

Please work through the prestudy material in the prestudy.md file.
