Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design Review: Decent DDD book, one of very few - Domain Modeling is hard. Teaching & presenting about Domain Modeling is even harder (I've tried it, honest word). Writing a *good* book about Domain Modeling is ninja-level challenge. And fortunately PPPofDDD is a *good* book about Domain Modeling. Maybe it's more 4.5 stars than 5, but I still believe it's more 5 than 4. Why? 1.) Author does not try to re-tell The Blue Book. I really, really had the honest feeling that his greatest intention was to show how do you use DDD principles while building actual systems. Not just on line-of-code level. And what's important, I think he did it well, at least clearly better than VV in Red Book. 2.) It's quite easy to write about desing in a boring way: either because you being too abstract (only conceptual notions) or to specific (by diving deep into the examples you readers do not give an f-word). But to be honest this book is not boring -> maybe it's author's writing style. Anyway, this book is in general more pleasant to read (& more engaging) than both Blue and Red Book. 3.) There are plenty of references (incl. all examples) to .NET! ;) Ok, it may not be a Pro for everyone, but I appreciate it. 4.) Part IV (which I initially expected a total shit & 'space-filler') appeared to be the best part of the book - very practical & pragmatic. Even if I don't necessarily agree with all the statements (or rather - with some I agree with 'yes, but ...' suffix :>), I really like all the thoughts gathered in such a clear & approachable way. 5.) Any specific points made I've found useful? Yes, some about composability (bounded context & dependencies between them), state pattern & lazy loading. Cons? Yes, some: 1.) They were at least few examples that didn't really add much value - either too obvious or too bloated (what makes me feel they miss the point or don't have any). 2.) Chapters 9 & 10 are surprisingly shallow. I've kinda expected more. Fortunately book compensates it later. To summarize: it's a very good book about DDD. It doesn't change the fact that you're supposed to read Blue Book first anyway. But if you're about to choose whether read this one or Red Book ("Implementing DDD"), I believe that PPPofDDD is a better choice. Review: Delightful book (One of the two definitive DDD books). - This is one of those rare, stellar software books where it's evident that great care and attention was lavished in preparing it. Profusely illustrated, clearly articulated, replete with marvelous end-of-chapter summaries, this book is a keeper. I'm a Java / Scala programmer, working in the Big Data area, and would have preferred the code examples to be in either of these languages. But I must confess that the C# code is pristine enough in its quality that it it's easy to follow along. The content and crystal-clear presentation is abundantly evident throughout, though I feel compelled to point out two stand-out chapters that are not to be missed: "Chapter 21: Repositories Repositories mediate between the domain model and the underlying data model. They ensure that the domain model is kept separate from any infrastructure concerns." "Chapter 24: CQRS: An Architecture of a Bounded Context CQRS is a design pattern that creates two models where there once was one. Instead of a single model to handle the two different contexts of reads and writes, two explicit models are created to handle commands or serve queries for reports." All-in-all, a terrific and delightful book, which is why I think of it as one of the two definitive DDD books, the other one being, of course, the seminal volume by Eric Evans himself (the classic book titled "Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software")! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #267,553 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #35 in Software Design & Engineering #61 in Object-Oriented Design #233 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (229) | | Dimensions | 7.4 x 1.6 x 9.2 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1118714709 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1118714706 | | Item Weight | 2.82 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 800 pages | | Publication date | May 4, 2015 | | Publisher | Wrox | ## Images ![Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715dYvRM3lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent DDD book, one of very few *by S***I on June 15, 2015* Domain Modeling is hard.

Still, this is good for techniques and hints to refer back to from time to time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design - Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design (Robert C.
