About this ebook

Domain-Driven Design fills that need. This is not a book about specific technologies. It offers readers a systematic approach to domain-driven design, presenting an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and fundamental principles that facilitate the development of software projects facing complex domains. Intertwining design and development practice, this book incorporates numerous examples based on actual projects to illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software development.

Readers learn how to use a domain model to make a complex development effort more focused and dynamic. A core of best practices and standard patterns provides a common language for the development team. A shift in emphasis–refactoring not just the code but the model underlying the code–in combination with the frequent iterations of Agile development leads to deeper insight into domains and enhanced communication between domain expert and programmer. Domain-Driven Design then builds on this foundation, and addresses modeling and design for complex systems and larger organizations.Specific topics covered include:

With this book in hand, object-oriented developers, system analysts, and designers will have the guidance they need to organize and focus their work, create rich and useful domain models, and leverage those models into quality, long-lasting software implementations.

Ratings and reviews

I can confirm that this book isn't available as an ePub download. I think the trick is to check for "eReader" in the list of "Best for" devices. Google support is *terrible* - they don't understand what an ePub *is* let alone why some books don't offer a download.

Get to the point... I think this book is really slow moving with lots of roundtrips before getting to the point. maybe i had to high expectations for this book.

Finally found the exposition I've been needing to mold my project into elegant work of art from the pile of "mud" its turning into.
