CQRS - The query side

Question

A lot of the blogsphere articles related to CQRS (command query repsonsibility) seperation seem to imply that all screens/viewmodels are flat. e.g. Name, Age, Location Of Birth

Answer 1

I think people are missing the point of CQS (or CQRS, same thing really). CQR is simply a pattern to say that you should have separate models for read and writing. What those model are is completely up to your implementation requirements.

Folks that been talking about this recently usually describe extremely simple architectures and implementation to drive home that the fact that most enterprise software written today is over-designed and over-engineered.
