Incorporate effective domain modeling into the software development
process
Software design thought leader and founder of Domain Language, Eric
Evans, provides 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 system 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 modeling and development.
- Domain Model: Part I outlines the goals of domain-driven
development, defines terms, and gives an overview of the implications
of using the domain model to drive communication and design
- Model-Driven Design: Part II condenses a core of best practices in
object-oriented domain modeling into a set of basic building blocks
and focuses on the kinds of decisions that keep the model and
implementation aligned with each other, each reinforcing the other's
effectiveness
- Refactoring: Part III delves into modeling principles that can
guide choices along the way, and techniques that help direct the
search
- Strategic Design: Part IV explores a triad of principles that
apply to the system as a whole: context, distillation, and large-scale
structure
Throughout the book, discussions are illustrated not with
over-simplified, "" problems, but with realistic examples adapted from
actual projects. 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.
"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
