DDD 4 Developers
Neue, spannende Konzepte für DDD-Enthusiasten und Softwaremodellierer - Fokus auf Implementierungsdetails von DDD für komplexe Anwendungen - Praxisnahe Muster für die Umsetzung mit anschaulichen Beispielen - Behandlung realer Frage- und Problemstellungen in Softwareentwicklungsprojekten In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich Domain-Driven Design (DDD) als Technik der Wahl etabliert, um der enormen und zunehmenden Komplexität der Fachdomänen in der Softwaremodellierung zu begegnen. Christopher Rudoll zeigt, was die Prinzipien des Domain-Driven Design über die zentralen Tätigkeiten der Domänenmodellierung und des Prozessdesigns hinaus in der ganz konkreten Implementierungspraxis bedeuten und wie sie sich auf Fragestellungen in der täglichen Arbeit von Softwareentwicklern anwenden lassen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass DDD nicht nur mit Event Storming und der Identifikation von Bounded Contexts zu tun hat, sondern auch in Detailfragen der Implementierung sehr hilfreiche Leitlinien bieten kann. Solche Leitlinien werden in Form von Patterns und Antipatterns anhand von Code und UML-Beispielen ausführlich erläutert. Aus dem Inhalt: - Supple Design – Evansʼ Prinzipien - Ontologie – Abbildung der Welt in Software - Semantik – Abbildung sprachlicher Konzepte in Software - Konzeptuelle Räume – kognitive Grundlagen der Konzeptbildung - Die (lästige) Realität – Fallstricke und Stolpersteine Das Buch bietet sowohl für DDD-Enthusiasten und Softwaremodellierer als auch für Business-Analysten und Architekten neue, spannende Konzepte. Es erweitert den Werkzeugkasten eines jeden Entwicklers.

The Road to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation
This book offers a policy analysis of the emergence of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through the lens of John Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework. Drawing on 32 expert interviews with key stakeholders—including EU institution representatives (such as trilogue negotiators), member states, industry leaders, NGOs, and journalists—the author provides a deep dive into the decision-making process behind the regulation. Additionally, the study examines 462 position papers from the EU Commission’s consultation phases (2009–2011) to uncover the factors that shaped the adoption of the GDPR. At its core, this work explores the ‘window of opportunity’ that enabled the regulation's adoption.Introduction.- Theoretical Framework.- Methodology.- Tracing Data Protection: National, International, and EU Milestones.- The Road to the GDPR: The European Problem Stream.- The Road to the GDPR: The European Policy Stream.- The Road to the GDPR: The European Political Stream.- The Policy Entrepreneurs.- The Window of Opportunity.- Conclusions.
Delete the Hype
Delete the Hype richtet sich an Marketingverantwortliche, Unternehmer:Innen und Entscheider:Innen, die faktenbasiert und strategisch fundiert in digitalen Kanälen agieren wollen. Das Ziel des Buches ist es, häufig wiederholte, aber wenig belastbare Aussagen (Mythen) zu entlarven - von der Rolle von KI im Marketing bis hin zur Frage, ob man zB. auf allen Plattformen präsent sein muss. Oder die Aussage: KI macht dein Unternehmen automatisch erfolgreicher - widerlegt durch empirische Studien und reale Beispiele, die zeigen, dass KI nur in Verbindung mit Strategie, Infrastruktur und qualitativ hochwertigen Daten einen Mehrwert generiert. Oder wie wärs mit: SEO wird durch KI obsolet - diskutiert die tiefgreifenden Änderungen durch ChatGPT Search & Google Gemini und betont, dass SEO relevanter denn je wird, jedoch mit neuem Fokus auf semantische Klarheit und strukturierte Inhalte. Das Buch bietet für Unternehmen, Agenturen und Selbstständige eine wertvolle Orientierung, um in einem von Buzzwords und überhöhten Erwartungen geprägten Umfeld realistische, datengestützte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Besonders die Integration von KI in Social Media, SEO und Content-Prozesse wird fundiert und kritisch beleuchtet.

Building Generative AI Agents
The dawn of AI agents is upon us. Tech visionaries like Bill Gates, Andrew Ng, and Vinod Khosla have highlighted the monumental potential of this powerful technology. This book will provide the knowledge and tools necessary to build generative AI agents using the most popular frameworks, such as AutoGen, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Haystack.Recent breakthroughs in large language models have opened up unprecedented possibilities. After years of gradual progress in machine learning and deep learning, we are now witnessing novel approaches capable of understanding, reasoning, and generating content in ways that promise to revolutionize nearly every industry. This platform shift is as significant as the advent of mainframes, PCs, cloud computing, mobile technology, and social media. It’s why the world’s largest technology companies – like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Meta – are making enormous investments in this category.While chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have demonstrated remarkable potential, the years ahead will see the rise of generative AI agents capable of executing complex tasks on behalf of users. These agents already exhibit capabilities such as running test suites, searching the web for documentation, writing software, answering questions based on vast organized information, and performing intricate web-based tasks across multiple domains. They can autonomously investigate cybersecurity incidents and address complex customer support needs. By integrating skills, knowledge bases, planning frameworks, memory, and feedback loops, these systems can handle many tasks and improve over time._Building Generative AI Agents_ serves as a high-quality guide for developers to understand when and where AI agents can be useful, their advantages and disadvantages, and practical advice on designing, building, deploying, and monitoring them.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* The foundational concepts, capabilities, and potential of AI agents.* Recent innovations in large language models that have enabled the development of AI agents.* How to build AI agents for launching a product, creating a financial plan, handling customer service, and using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).* Essential frameworks for building generative AI agents, including AutoGen, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Haystack.* Step-by-step guidance on designing, building, and deploying AI agents.* Insights into the future of AI agents and their potential impact on various industries.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORExperienced software developersTOM TAULLI (@TTAULLI) is a consultant to various companies, such as Aisera, a venture-backed generative AI startup.
