"Ubiquitous Language"

The premise of domain-driven design is that the critical complexity of most big software projects is in the domain itself, and that complex domains are best tackled through modeling. But how do teams find such models? And not just find them, but share their understanding of those concepts, and build them into the very fabric of the software?

There are many principles and techniques, but they all depend on cultivating a particular relationship of model, code and language. This talk will discuss how domain experts and software experts interact to create a dynamic ubiquitous language.
