Domain Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for handling complex behaviors when developing software.

There are plenty of tried and tested patterns widely available to everyone. Sometimes it is a matter of changing the names and implementing the pattern in a specific technology. It can save hundreds of hours, which otherwise would be spent on design and testing. Training Goals This course has two goals: first, it allows you to reuse widely-known patterns, second, it allows you to create and reuse patterns specific to your organization. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.

• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

Overview:

There are Five stages in the Design Thinking (DT) process (empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, test).

In an increasingly complex world, we deal with problems that may need special approaches. Design Thinking helps deal with complex problems. Mastering design-thinking helps to deal with complex problems effectively, communicate better, persuade efficiently, improve business results and enhances organizational and personal behavior and performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and problem, find patterns, design model (model drift), test the model, evaluate the model and re-engineer. 
• Relationship between DT, innovation and entrepreneurship. 
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation. 
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a 1 day (4 hours) training course and consists of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

Note: due to the nature of this course there is a minimum group size of 3

Target group:

Technical Team Leader, Software Developer

Learning objective:

The purpose of training is to acquire the ability to design advanced development / project structures in C #.

During the course, students become familiar with the MSDN resources and tools to support the development process, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, ReSharper.

The training is designed for JavaScript developers, designing and implementing advanced Internet applications. Topics discussed during the training aimed at bringing best practices in JavaScript programming and highlight the most common mistakes. An important point of the training is to discuss the available object-oriented programming with JavaScript syntax.

The evolution of microservices and containers in recent years has significantly changed how we design, develop, deploy and run software. Modern applications must be optimized for scalability, elasticity, failure, and change. Driven by these new demands, modern architectures require a different set of patterns and practices. In this training, we examine ways to identify, understand and adjust to these new requirements.

Audience
This training is intended for people who are somewhat familiar with container technology and with Kubernetes concepts but are perhaps lacking the real world experience. It is based on use cases, and lessons learnt from real life projects with the intention of making people inspired to create and manage even better cloud native applications.
