Getting Started with OpenCQRS

Welcome to the Getting Started series for OpenCQRS! This tutorial series will guide you through the core concepts and practical implementation of CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) using our framework. Whether you're new to CQRS or looking for a structured approach to building scalable and resilient applications, this series will provide you with a solid foundation.

What You'll Learn

Throughout these six tutorials, you will step through the key aspects of developing a CQRS-based system:

1. Setting Up the Environment – Learn how to install and configure the necessary dependencies to get started.
2. Command Handling – Understand how to define and process commands that modify the system's state.
3. Developing the Domain – Model your domain logic effectively to enforce business rules and maintain consistency.
4. Handling Events – Discover how to capture and react to domain events, ensuring proper event-driven behavior.
5. Building Read Models from Events – Learn how to generate and maintain efficient read models for querying data.
6. Testing the Domain – Explore strategies for writing robust tests to validate your domain logic and ensure system reliability.

Who Should Follow This Series?

• Developers looking to build applications with CQRS and Event Sourcing.
• Architects interested in designing scalable, decoupled systems.
• Anyone curious about OpenCQRS and looking for a practical introduction with real-world examples.

Each tutorial includes clear explanations, code examples, and practical exercises to help you gain hands-on experience.
