Domain-Driven Design Reference

More about the book

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an approach tailored for software development in complex business environments. It addresses this complexity by centering the team's focus on domain knowledge, dissecting intricate problems through models, and aligning software development with these models. While implementing DDD is challenging, its techniques provide a systematic approach to navigate this complexity. This reference serves as a concise and authoritative summary of DDD's key concepts, rather than an introductory guide. For in-depth exploration, Eric Evans' original work and a few other texts delve into DDD from various angles. This reference is designed for those needing a quick overview or understanding of specific patterns, complementing more extensive discussions found in other books. It builds on excerpts from Evans' foundational text, particularly the pattern summaries originally shared under Creative Commons. These summaries have been updated and expanded, reflecting significant advancements in DDD practice over the past decade. Evans has refined some patterns and definitions for clarity and introduced three new patterns that highlight emerging concepts. Additionally, the organization of topics has been restructured to better emphasize core principles, making this a current and accessible reference for DDD.
