Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to the design of software, based on two premises. For most software projects, the primary focus should be on the domain and domain logic (as opposed to being the particular technology used to implement the system) and complex domain designs should be based on a model. David Laribee wraps up his discussion with hosts Keith and Woody about the growing design practice and how it can be used with the .NET platform. Thanks to our guest this episode David Laribee is President of Xclaim Software, an ISV offering a platform for building document management applications. He has 12 years experience designing, developing, and architecting enterprise applications and managing software development teams in internal IT, product development, consulting, and rapid prototyping contexts across a wide variety of industries.

In April 2008 about 1700 Microsoft Most Valued Professionals (MVPs) descended upon Seattle, WA.  On Sunday, April 13th around 11:00 PM a group of MVPs gathered in the lobby of the Westin Hotel (an MVP Summit ritual) and started talking shop.  Deep Fried Bytes was there to capture the action.  We broke out the recording devices and decided to tape a show entitled "Interview War Stories".  If you are looking for a job, this show will shed some light on what the experts like to ask when interviewing.  You'll also hear stories about what not to do on interviews as well.  Late night insanity ensued as we progressed throughout the evening and we closed the show with a discussion as to whether a chicken class (yes a public class Chicken () { } ) should implement IEggable or ICanLayEggs.  This show is surely one for the record books!   Thanks to all of the guests below that joined us on the show.
