Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design

I'm a little annoyed with myself that I am only writing this review now. I had this book sitting on my desk for the last few months but didn't make time to read it. I mean really read it and understand it. If you are new to DDD or indeed if you have been working with the concepts for a period of time then I encourage you to read this book. It's so well written and the examples are meaningful and well thought out. This is particularly relevant to chapter 12. I like that the architecture was fleshed out with diagrams prior to introducing the code. This allows readers to take some time and try and implement solutions themselves and make comparisons to the code from the book. Finally the book doesn't waste time. In some books that I have read they spend the first few chapters introducing dependency injection and TDD. This is not the case here. All chapters are relevant and useful in the outside world. Nice work Mr Millett.

Incredible book. Well written with solid examples and commitment to DDD ideology. Not one of those half-committed book that keep on saying "you wouldn't actually do this but you get the idea".

The initial going was very rough, but a few chapters in, a lot of the concepts introduced earlier started making sense.I'd have given it a 5 but I'll put it as a 4 due to some of the (I believe) typos I encountered. Also, there should have being more consistency in how concepts and ideas are referenced. It would have led to a lot of repetition but this would have been less confusing for readers.

The author introduce the most important things about DDD and how we should approach to solve problems using it.

This book introduced me to the concept of Domain Driven Design. As a Python developer I am frequently asked to distill the problem domain and build software that describes the domain as accurately as possible. Good knowledge of software design patterns wont get you far if you don't architect the code having the problem domain in mind. The book has a plethora of theoretical but also practical examples of DDD. I keep it in my bookcase next to the Gang of Four !

The book compiles and explains all the principles of DDD. With clear language and concise examples, I find myself regularly coming back to it for reference and validation of my own designs. It has also been a useful tool when discussing concepts with other colleagues, as the amount of diagrams and pragmatism makes it often easier for me than with the Evan's or Vernon's books (which I also recommend).It is a reference book, not a step by step implementation guide. There are samples using some vendor specific frameworks, but is easy to abstract the underlying concepts and apply them to your preferred stack.I worked with Scott and we filled a few whiteboards together. He is a cheerful character and passionate about design. He also gives away his contact details, so reach to him and engage in the conversation.Happy designing!

This is a comprehensive collection of Domain-Driven Design material, all the way from the theory down to specific code examples. The book does a great job of linking together a number of patterns and practices in a coherent way - describing what architectural patterns, and what design patterns work well with DDD. What I particularly liked about this book is the organisation - the theory isn't interrupted with code examples; they are left to the more practical sections. Like Uncle Bob's "Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices" books, "Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design" is a bit like owning a collection of books on the subject.

Good book with some great ideas and principals.
