  CQRS and Event Sourcing are emerging techniques/architectures which have their roots in Domain Driven Design, Service Oriented Architecture and Event Driven Architecture. This session will help guide you through the thought processes behind each, and provide a concise foundation for their real world implementation.

  About Creighton
  Creighton Kirkendall has been working in Java technologies since 1997 and has been accused of being a perl hack on more than one occasion. For a brief period of time he drifted to the dark side and played an executive. He even managed to get an MBA to prove it. In the end, it turned out that a techie nerd doesn't make a happy executive. For the last four years Creighton has been consulting for SEI at his current client Luxottica as an architect. When not at work Creighton spends most of his free time coaching his two children in soccer and hacking a bit of Clojure.
