Methods for managing complex software construction following the practices, principles and patterns of Domain-Driven Design with code examples in C#

This book presents the philosophy of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in a down-to-earth and practical manner for experienced developers building applications for complex domains. A focus is placed on the principles and practices of decomposing a complex problem space as well as the implementation patterns and best practices for shaping a maintainable solution space. You will learn how to build effective domain models through the use of tactical patterns and how to retain their integrity by applying the strategic patterns of DDD. Full end-to-end coding examples demonstrate techniques for integrating a decomposed and distributed solution space while coding best practices and patterns advise you on how to architect applications for maintenance and scale.

Offers a thorough introduction to the philosophy of DDD for professional developers

Offers a thorough introduction to the philosophy of DDD for professional developers
Includes masses of code and examples of concept in action that other books have only covered theoretically
Covers the patterns of CQRS, Messaging, REST, Event Sourcing and Event-Driven Architectures
Also ideal for Java developers who want to better understand the implementation of DDD

Arie van Deursen reviewed Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design by Scott Millett

Valuable Resource on Doing DDD

4 stars

This book is a useful companion to the Eric Evan's original "blue book" on Domain-Driven Design. Millet and Tune flip the order of Evan's book, discussing strategic patterns (bounded context, context maps) before the tactical ones (entities, aggregates, repositories ...). Particularly valuable are the additions of DDD-thinking emerged after the publication of the blue book, like events, event storming, and event sourcing.

The book is full of examples, all in C#, also relying on C# libraries. Nevertheless, the examples are also sufficiently accessible for developers using other languages.
