Learn how DDD applies directly to various architectural styles such as REST, reactive systems, and microservices
Empower teams to work flexibly with improved services and decoupled interactions

Description

Developers across the world are rapidly adopting DDD principles to deliver powerful results when writing software that deals with complex business requirements. This book will guide you in involving business stakeholders when choosing the software you are planning to build for them. By figuring out the temporal nature of behavior-driven domain models, you will be able to build leaner, more agile, and modular systems. You’ll begin by uncovering domain complexity and learn how to capture the behavioral aspects of the domain language. You will then learn about EventStorming and advance to creating a new project in .NET Core 2.1; you’ll also and write some code to transfer your events from sticky notes to C#. The book will show you how to use aggregates to handle commands and produce events. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with Bounded Contexts, Context Map, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. After translating domain models into executable C# code, you will create a frontend for your application using Vue.js. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to refactor your code and cover event versioning and migration essentials. By the end of this DDD book, you will have gained the confidence to implement the DDD approach in your organization and be able to explore new techniques that complement what you’ve learned from the book.

Who is this book for?

This book is for .NET developers who have an intermediate level understanding of C#, and for those who seek to deliver value, not just write code. Intermediate level of competence in JavaScript will be helpful to follow the UI chapters.

If you want to write your software better then you need DDD.This book strikes a great balance with theory and practice. It covers Event Storming and Event Modelling with code examples, where there isn't a great deal of books that I have seen..I've red the blue book by Eric Evans and red book as well DDD Distilled by Vaughan Vernon as a Scott Millett on DDD.So I finished this Kindle version last night, although not executed the code as I didn't want that distraction. I've been reading it most evenings over the course of a week or two. I will be running the code over the next week or so and excited to get acquainted with EventStore by Greg Young.The book will confirm my thoughts on where we go wrong with writing software in the later chapters.

The book is interesting and tallies with other material. Interesting insight from an experienced hand. Worth a read or two.

For developers interested in DDD and for whom some of the other DDD books may seem a bit theoretical that's a must read. Alexey has a great way of explaining concepts and presenting them hands on with simple code examples.

BBM & Conway Law to end the story made me laugh because my current job involves maintaining such a system. Most of the day I spent writing horrible code. It occurred to me when I started learning .Net Core recently that technology changes suck as I have to update my skills every then & now. So I tried to give another try learning DDD after giving up on DDD couple of years back.So I started reading Eric Events Blue Book which is thick & has a lot of thought-provoking theory. I only read the first 7 seven chapters. Then started reading Jimmy book last week along with watched Plural Site videos as well but was burdened with "It depends on analogy a lot". Enough with history but this book is so refreshing that I actually want to write code & experiment it.I love the idea of using a rather simple domain like Ad application. I am no DDD practitioner because I have failed multiple times in the past just to keep EF Context out of my Domain Model rather I should call it Persistence Model.The key takes away from this book is:- Event Sourcing is not really difficult to implement as it sounds in start- Aggregate & Context Boundary was explained very well with a crisp exampleWhat this book lacks:- Event Sourcing downsides when there are changes to the model, perhaps an Entity is completely removed, or associations are changed in a way that it requires changes to existing data, like new property is added.- How to fix bugs since Aggregate is persisted to the event stream. Is it just like adding another event to stream so the state can be corrected like debit/credit?- How to fix Legacy systems, perhaps complete rewrite, but who will listen to an inexperienced DDD developer?Note: This is an initial review, I will be reading it slow & implementing what is being told, and see how I feel.

Being a developer for almost 10 years now I have had my share of using patterns and applying different architectural approaches. This book gave me new insights and teached me soms ways of work as event sourcing, which I always saw as something 'to complex' or 'too performance heavy', but now as something really useful and in most cases the most efficient way for building a system. Also the DDD part in general is something every developer should embrace in my opinion. Soo.. great book! Thank you Alexey for sharing your knowledge.
