	Calling All Microsoft MVPs Practicing Domain Driven Design Udi Dahan is calling out the Patterns & Practices team on their lack of Domain Driven Design (or even a lack of a true domain) in the Web Service Software Factory Guidance Package.  There are 2 things that I'd like to do to help resolve this. Create a list (hopefully an OPML) of all Microsoft MVPs that think of themselves as Domain Driven Design practioners.  This way we can band together and help spread the word. Work together to create a Domain Driven Design Guidance Package using the Guidance Automation Toolkit.   I know that the P&P folks are open to listening to us about DDD, but at the minimum we need to create a DDD refernece implementation.  I started to create one by modifying the reference implementation that ships with the Web Service Software Factory, but I don't always follow pure DDD, and so I put it aside and got sidetrack on other projects. Here's the list of Microsoft MVPs that I know are interested in DDD Milan Negovan Scott Bellware I'm sure that there are others.  The only  non-MVPs that uses .Net and DDD that I know of is Jimmy Nilsson.  If there are non-MVPs that I should know about, go ahead and list them too.  I gather them all together and create an OPML, and list it on my site.

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
