@BigBlackDog, Gerhard, thanks for the extra tips. Functional is definitely on my list, but it tends to drop down constantly because other things tend to pop up all the time…

@Ahmad: I’ll take your comment to heart, and will consider it. But I happened to like this standard template. And lacking design skillz, even slightly tweaking it (as I already did some time ago) is a tough job for this developer.

The list rocks, clicked on some links to check them out, but I have to say one thing is seriously killing the user experience for me, the white text on black bg, I’m seeing lines all over the screen when I’m done, maybe you could do sth about the contrast, it hurts.

You can use git for a centralized repository as well. Branching, merging, stashing, interactive staging are just a few of the things that it excels in. Repository checking, compressing and all other low-level functions make it just brilliant. You won’t know until you try it…

X. Learn a functional programming language. E.g. Erlang or Haskell.

I imagine you’re not the only one with this list!

If you want to get started quickly with DDD, you might want to try our “TrueView” framework. It lets you visualise your domain entities by exposing them as a fully functional application. It can certainly help you jump-start the learning process.

Cheers,
