Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a robust software development methodology that emphasizes modeling complex behaviors by aligning technical implementation with core business concepts. This course examines how DDD enables teams to manage complexity and mitigate risk through strategic and tactical patterns. Participants will learn to establish a "Ubiquitous Language," define clear boundaries via Bounded Contexts, and utilize specific building blocks such as Entities, Value Objects, and Aggregates. The primary objective is to develop flexible, maintainable software architectures that remain consistent with the evolving business domain.

Numerous proven and reliable patterns are widely accessible. Often, the process involves adapting their names and applying them within a specific technological context. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be consumed by design and testing efforts. Training Goals This course aims to achieve two primary objectives: first, it enables you to leverage well-known patterns; second, it empowers you to develop and reuse patterns tailored to your organization. It assists you in estimating how patterns can lower costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your customized patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Style The course emphasizes use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained using UML and simple Java examples (the language may change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as shows you how to catalogue and describe patterns for reuse across your organization.

In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Taipei (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the challenges faced by end-users of a product or service, and then develop the best approach to resolve them.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process unfolds across five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex landscape, we often encounter challenges that demand specialized approaches. Design Thinking offers a robust framework for navigating these complexities. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address intricate problems with greater effectiveness, communicate more clearly, persuade more efficiently, and ultimately improve business outcomes. Furthermore, it enhances both organizational culture and personal performance and behavior.

• How DT works: Learn from users and the problem at hand, identify patterns, design a model (accounting for model drift), test the model, evaluate results, and re-engineer as needed.
• The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprinting, and business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, utilizing agile estimation techniques, enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering teamwork and leadership readiness, improving communication, leveraging technological savvy, thinking forward, demonstrating intercultural and ethical competency, developing emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution abilities.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and subtleties of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT methodologies.

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source ISA into a mainstream architecture gaining significant market momentum across edge computing, IoT, automotive, AI acceleration, and server-class processors. Industry reports highlight a critical talent shortage: with fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers globally against an estimated 15,000+ open positions in the semiconductor industry. Key hiring trends indicate that employers prioritize proficiency in RISC-V architecture paired with skills in SoC design, RTL verification (UVM/SystemVerilog), AI accelerator development, Rust systems programming, confidential computing, and open-source toolchain expertise. The fastest-growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V (ISO 26262), server-class processors (AIA interrupt controllers, multi-core coherence), and edge AI inference NPUs. Companies like SiFive, Qualcomm, and Western Digital have accelerated RISC-V development, driving demand for engineers who can bridge architecture specification, silicon implementation, firmware, and software stack development within a single skill set.

As distributed systems grow increasingly intricate, the challenge has shifted from the complexity of individual systems to the architectural complexity of interconnected system groups. This course explores the symbiotic relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture—two domains that are closely linked yet not always clearly defined. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems communicating via web services necessitates significant adjustments in both the new systems and the architecture bridging them.

The course examines the trade-offs involved, along with prevailing patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and their internal and external communications.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for software developers, programmers, business analysts, project managers, software architects, testers, documentation specialists, and any professionals engaged in the software development lifecycle.
