Book Reviews of Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software
Book Review: An excellent reference, another must read for developers
Summary: 5 Stars
Through this book Evan's shares his extensive development and consulting experience as he outlines his approach to Domain Driven Design (DDD) - DDD being the development approach that Evan's has had the most success with. Evan's writing style is easy to read as he maintains a comfortable conversational tone while pragmatically guiding us through the many patterns and concepts that encompass Domain Driven Design. However; be warned the concepts that lie within are occasionally dense, abstract, but ultimately enlightening as Evan's forces us to look at development from a new perspective.
It's fair to mention that this book has been charged as being just another patterns book, and while I sympathize with those reviewers - some concepts do come across as being overly abstract without clear implementations (code) to reference. I found this book to be an insightful window into the mind of an experienced developer, and not just another patterns book. If you do find yourself grasping for more concrete implementations then you'll want to read Jimmy Nilsson's Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET book too - Nilsson's book provides many code examples while directly referencing Evan's text.
As a developer or an emerging architect you won't want to overlook this book. From my experience the concepts and patterns surrounding Domain Driven Design frequently crop up in Service Orientation, MVC/MVP Web Applications, Object Orientation, Test Driven Development, Model Driven Development, and other modern best practices. I highly recommend this book, it's a great reference to have alongside Steve McConnell's Code Complete, Robert Glass's Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering, and the Martin Fowler blessed books too.
