Living in the Tech Avalanche Generation

For those of you who are struggling with the idea or even still the practice of applying Domain Driven Design and using Microsoft Technology in the process, there is some very good news (potentially). Danny Simmons (noted Microsoft ADO.Net / Entity Framework team member) announced the advisory council for Data Programmability. This council is a who’s who of the DDD world and so it should provide some great real world commercial & practical requirements to the team in driving forward the next versions of products such as LINQ to SQL and the Entity Framework and making these tools more effortlessly support the practice of DDD. Now having said all that, you can get some part of the way their now and Ian Cooper has produced some good work in that area. I must admit that I have avoided taking a really serious look at the EF because persistence ignorance isn’t possible in the first release, however I am starting to feel a bit more positive about about subsequent releases given this latest announcement and Danny Simmons previous announcements that PI supporting infrastructure would be baked into V 1.0 making it’s inclusion in subsequent versions more likely without breaking changes being required.
