For the past few decades, one of the most common approaches to software design has been to first focus on the domain model (application layer), then persistence (data layer) and finally the user interface (presentation layer). But what are the pros and cons of this approach? Are there other alternatives?

In this presentation, Sandro Mancuso, founder of the London Software Craftsmanship Community (LSCC), and author of The Software Craftsman book, will discuss different design biases and how business analysis can impact architecture. 

He will then focus on Outside-In Design, explaining how the domain model, bounded contexts and [micro] services can emerge and evolve when driven by the needs of users and external systems, avoiding speculation and wasted effort.

This complimentary event will take place at Asana NYC.

By participating, you'll be able to:

• Get insights into software craftsmanship principles
• Get questions answered in extended Q&A
• Connect with other software engineers over food and drinks
