"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 contributionsto 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 focusedand 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 languageConnecting model and
implementation more deeplySharpening key distinctions in a
modelManaging the lifecycle of a domain object Writing domain code
that is safe to combine in elaborate waysMaking complex code
obvious and predictableFormulating a domain vision statement
Distilling the core of a complex domainDigging out implicit
concepts needed in the model Applying analysis patterns Relating
design patterns to the model Maintaining model integrity in a large
systemDealing with coexisting models on the same projectOrganizing
systems with large-scale structuresRecognizing 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.
