Introduction

Let's build a website for a fictional software conference called ConferenceWorks.

Learning Objectives

Domain

There are a few key ideas in the domain that we'll be modeling. This is our Ubiquitous Language.

Speaker

Speakers are invited to give Talks at the software conference. Speakers have a name and a bio that is one or more paragraphs long. A Speaker also has a photo.

Talk

A Talk has a title and a description. When a Talk is scheduled for a specific Room and Timeslot, you have a Session. If a Talk spans multiple Timeslots, it is considered a Workshop. A Keynote is a Talk that everyone attends, so it appears on the Schedule as a Talk that spans all of the rooms.

Room

A Room has a name and a number. A Room has several Timeslots.

Timeslot

A Timeslot has a start time and a duration. A Timeslot is associated with a specific Room.

Session

A Session is a Talk that is scheduled in a specific Room during a specific Timeslot. The Schedule is a collection of Sessions.

Schedule

The Schedule shows all of the Sessions at the conference, which is a Talk that is scheduled for a specific Room during a specific Timeslot.
