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 efforts on understanding the domain, dissecting intricate problems through modeling, and aligning software architecture with these models. While the techniques of DDD provide a systematic approach, mastering them can be challenging. This reference serves as a concise summary of DDD's key concepts, intended for quick scanning rather than as an introductory learning tool. For a deeper understanding, Eric Evans' original work and a few other texts delve into DDD from various angles. The reference builds on excerpts from Evans' 2004 book, particularly the pattern summaries made available under Creative Commons. These summaries have been updated and expanded to reflect advancements in DDD over the past decade. Evans has documented significant refinements, including edits to clarify original intentions and the addition of three new patterns that highlight emerging concepts. Furthermore, the organization of topics has been significantly restructured to better showcase core principles. This resource provides an up-to-date, accessible overview of DDD for practitioners.
