Greg Young – författare

In this new book, leading practitioner Greg Young shows how to incorporate effective domain modeling throughout the software development process, designing large and complex systems so they can be built more efficiently, dynamically, and successfully. Young takes the next steps beyond the DDD principles and best practices introduced by Eric Evans in Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software. One step at a time, he explains how to use DDD with Command-Query Responsibility Separation (CQRS) to select the right design solutions and make them work in the real world. System designers and architects will learn how CQRS and event sourcing can simplify construction, decentralize decision-making, and make system development more flexible and responsive. Young also shows how DDD and CQRS make it possible to coordinate larger development teams without higher levels of management maturity. To write this book, Young has drawn on his widely-praised 3-day course on CQRS, Domain Events, Event Sourcing, and DDD. He answers many of the questions course participants have raised, shows how to overcome common architectural obstacles to DDD, and guides professionals in solving the #1 problem they've encountered: translating DDD's abstract concepts into concrete solutions.

Planning is described as being increasingly sidelined by the impacts of neo-liberal restructuring. At the same time, 'culture' is nowadays seen as the world's key intellectual resource possessing new creative weight in sociological, economic and environmental terms. This book argues that, in the light of this cultural turn, there is the opportunity to re-position planning and proposes an original, practical and robust system of 'culturisation'. Culturisation is defined as the ethical, critical and reflexive integration of culture into planning and potentially other areas such as public administration, corporate strategy and development thinking. Cultural theory, planning theory, global governance policy and recent, innovative culturised practices are all explored to this end. The new theoretical and practical approach put forward shows how deeper, richer and more relevant ideas about culture can be utilized in planning, and is illustrated with international examples and two major case studies detailing new vistas for a refurbished planning.

It has become increasingly evident that effective planning for sustainable communities, environments and economies pivots on the ability of planners to see the possibilities for culture in comprehensive social, historical and environmental terms and to more fully engage with the cultural practices, processes and theorisation that comprise a social formation. More broadly, an approach to planning theory and practice that is itself formed through a close engagement with culture is required. This Research Companion brings together leading experts from around the world to map the contours of the relationship between planning and culture and to present these inextricably linked concepts and issues together in one place. By examining significant trends in varying national and international contexts, the contributors scrutinise the theories and practices of both planning and culture and explore not only their interface, but significant divergences and tensions. In doing so, this collection provides the first comprehensive overview and analysis of planning and culture, interdisciplinary and international in scope. It is comprised of six parts organised around the themes of global and historical contexts, key dimensions of planning and cultural theory and practice, and cultural and planning dynamics. Each section includes a final chapter that provides a case study lens which pulls the themes of the section together with reference to a significant planning issue or initiative.
