Join the Cape Town DDD Meetup

"FNB Digital needed a crash course on Domain Driven Design. We contacted KRS and they structured a short training course for us. The course was great! Lorraine and Alain showed in depth knowledge of the subject matter. They broke down what is quite a complex topic into easily digestible chunks. Thanks for the great training!"

KanDDDinsky, Berlin

Lor Steyn presented at KanDDDinsky in Berlin in October. This vibrant Domain Driven Design (DDD) conference provided some great sessions on Event Storming, live-coding Refactoring workshops, and Lor’s own Systems Thinking session.

Check out Lor's slides or the video of the talk, or enjoy these fun artistic interpretations of her talk.

Agile Testing Days

Back in Germany in November, Lor also presented at Agile Testing Days on the importance of Pair Programming to bake quality into the code from the beginning. It was inspiring to attend these two important conferences, and bring back ideas to learn and grow at KRS.
