Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

Use Grails and Axon to create a CQRS application (part I)

Allard has been working on a new framework to make it easier to create a CQRS application. CQRS is short for Command Query Responsibility Segregation.
