Domain driven design framework released

Af: Jan-Erik Revsbech

I'm very proud to announce that the first stable version of our domain driven design framework is released during TYPO3 developer days.

Today we released the framework that is used at MOC Systems for writing enterprise webapplications.

The framework is a php library that provides the programmer with at way to work with domain model in an easy way.  We have worked on it for about a year and a half, and used it in many applications ranging from very small extensions to large scale web-applications.

Usually the hardest, and sometimes most tedious task, when applying domain driven design, is the storage of objects, and mapping objects to database tables, but now our problems (at least regarding this issue) are solved.

The MOC DB Framework automatically generates a full domain model based on your database layout. The generated code lets you concentrate the manpower in understanding the domain of your project/client and coming up with a good model. The code for persistance is created for you automatically.

The framework lets you create your domain model yourself, and just use the framework for the persistance part (storing objects to the database).

Attached to this post is the presentation I gave at the TYPO3 developer days 2008 in Hamburg about MOC Dblib.

The extension can be downloaded from TER. Extension key: moc_dblib

We released another extension at the same time: moc_dblib_unittest which contains the unittests for the framework. Do not install this on production websites, as it creates new pages during the unittests!
