Welcome to the new week!

Last week, I mentioned Leslie Lamport, one of my heroes. This week I’d like to give my appreciation to Pat Helland. I admire how prolific he’s and how he can explain complex concepts in a simple, condensed way. This week I added links for his work that are foundational to understanding Event-Driven systems:

• Pat Helland - Immutability Changes Everything

• Pat Helland - Data on the Outside vs. Data on the Inside

Speaking about the event-driven approach, watch Yves Reynhout explanation of projections. I’ve seen that talk live at DDDEU. It’s a nice, methodic explanation:

• Yves Reynhout - Projections Explained

Aaron Stannard shared the technical spec template that he uses in his company. Never enough inspiration on that topic.

• Aaron Stannard - Technical Spec Template

You can also look at my article, in which I explain How to successfully do documentation without a maintenance burden?

Creating software is, in general, a burden. Kelsey Hightower provided a template for the application that doesn’t have that issue.

Check also other links; they’re worth it!

Cheers!
