Architecture Weekly #67 - 21st March 2022

Welcome to the new week.

Ukraine is still under brutal Russian invasion. A lot of Ukrainian people are hurt, without shelter and need help. You can help in various ways, for instance, directly helping refugees, spreading awareness, putting pressure on your local government or companies. You can also support Ukraine by donating e.g. to Red Cross, Ukraine humanitarian organisation. You may also consider joining Tech for Ukraine initiative.

Last week released the first part of exercises from the self-paced "Introduction to Event Sourcing" workshop for FREE. It took me two weeks of full focus, plus all the hours I spend in the past years. I created it for the private workshop but, as always, decided to open source it. You can do the workshop as a self-paced kit. That should give you a good foundation for starting your journey with Event Sourcing and learning tools like Marten and EventStoreDB.

You can get it on my GitHub repository: https://github.com/oskardudycz/EventSourcing.NetCore/tree/main/Workshops/IntroductionToEventSourcing.
