Domain-Driven Design :

Tackling Complexity in
the Heart of Software
By
Eric Evans
Pearson Education (US)

"Eric Evans has written a fantastic book on how you can make the
design of your software match your mental model of the problem
domain you are addressing.

"His book is very compatible with XP. It is not about drawing


pictures of a domain; it is about how you think of it, the language
you use to talk about it, and how you organize your software to
reflect your improving understanding of it. Eric thinks that learning
about your problem domain is as likely to happen at the end of your
project as at the beginning, and so refactoring is a big part of his
technique.

"The book is a fun read. Eric has lots of interesting stories, and he
has a way with words. I see this book as essential reading for
software developers-it is a future classic."

-Ralph Johnson, author of Design Patterns

"If you don't think you are getting value from your investment in
object-oriented programming, this book will tell you what you've
forgotten to do.

"Eric Evans convincingly argues for the importance of domain


modeling as the central focus of development and provides a solid
framework and set of techniques for accomplishing it. This is
timeless wisdom, and will hold up long after the methodologies du
jour have gone out of fashion."

-Dave Collins, author of Designing Object-Oriented User Interfaces

"Eric weaves real-world experience modeling-and building-business


applications into a practical, useful book. Written from the
perspective of a trusted practitioner, Eric's descriptions of
ubiquitous language, the benefits of sharing models with users,
object life-cycle management, logical and physical application
structuring, and the process and results of deep refactoring are major
contributions to our field."
-Luke Hohmann, author of Beyond Software Architecture

"This book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful software


developer."

-Kent Beck

"What Eric has managed to capture is a part of the design process


that experienced object designers have always used, but that we
have been singularly unsuccessful as a group in conveying to the
rest of the industry. We've given away bits and pieces of this
knowledge...but we've never organized and systematized the
principles of building domain logic. This book is important."

-Kyle Brown, author of Enterprise Java (TM) Programming with


IBM (R) WebSphere (R)

The software development community widely acknowledges that


domain modeling is central to software design. Through domain
models, software developers are able to express rich functionality
and translate it into a software implementation that truly serves the
needs of its users. But despite its obvious importance, there are few
practical resources that explain how to incorporate effective domain
modeling into the software development process.
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:

Getting all team members to speak the same language


Connecting model and implementation more deeply
Sharpening key distinctions in a model
Managing the lifecycle of a domain object
Writing domain code that is safe to combine in elaborate ways
Making complex code obvious and predictable
Formulating a domain vision statement
Distilling the core of a complex domain
Digging out implicit concepts needed in the model
Applying analysis patterns
Relating design patterns to the model
Maintaining model integrity in a large system
Dealing with coexisting models on the same project
Organizing systems with large-scale structures
Recognizing and responding to modeling breakthroughs

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.
