The Nodebots Durban community is hosting a meet up for anybody interested in Node.js driven robotics, whether you are a beginner or have built your own Node.js powered Iron Man suit.
Essentially Nodebots are robots controlled by javascript. That's right... if you've any JavaScript experience, you can now use your powers to manipulate the machines. From blinking lights to Sumo Bot battles, Remote control cats, and Bull fighting with quadcopters.... So, JS + Hardware = NodeBots.
This event will be a session where people meet-up and hack together on Arduinos,  and any other gizmos that just need more input...
If you have no idea how to use an LED, have no fear - a NodeBot expert will be on hand to help you hack, solder, your way to an understanding of what a full fledged NodeBot can do.
Join us! Gather with a group of people near you and hack together something awesome.

Kaleidocode is proud to support this Nodebots initiative.

This presentation offers insights into an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and principles that assist in the implementation of software projects that deal with complex domains. Merging design and development practice, this session incorporates fundamental examples based on real projects that Chris has been involved with to clearly illustrate domain-driven design being applied to real-world software.
Key areas include:

• Placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic.
• Basing designs for a complex system on the model of the domain.
• Creating a collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively improve the conceptual model.
• Ubiquitous Language - what is it and why does it matter
• Common DDD Patterns
• A hands on walk thru of a DDD designed project, explaining the tradeoffs and the wins
