Emergent Design

Explore emergent design techniques in software development through this 50-minute conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2013. Discover how to avoid the pitfalls of Big Design Up Front and learn to make design decisions at the last responsible moment. Delve into four key areas: emergent design enablers, overcoming obstacles to emergent design, identifying idiomatic patterns, and leveraging discovered patterns. Gain insights into both proactive approaches like test-driven development and reactive methods such as refactoring, metrics, visualizations, and testing. Learn about custom attributes, DSLs, and other techniques for implementing emergent design. Acquire strategies and nomenclature to keep your code aligned with the problem domain as your project evolves.
