Community Highlights: Ruby Heroes

This week I’m happy to tell you about a new set of articles which will be appearing here on the Rails blog called “Community Highlights”. This new series will feature people/projects/sites from the Rails community that may deserve a little extra recognition.

This week, we’re going to start with a few people who received awards on stage at Railsconf 2009, this years Ruby Heroes.

My aproach for doing “DDD on Ruby” – Introduction and Part I

Introduction

We all know that in Domain-Driven Design it is good to express our domain with simplicity and “pureness” and for that we usually go for a POxO (Plain Old {fill_with_your_preffered_language} Object) approach. The problem is that the ORM solutions I’ve found for Ruby make us either inherit from some base class or do the mappings directly into our classes. By no means am I saying that they aren’t good, but we are talking about DDD and the idea of having a pure domain layer without distractions is something we should embrace.
