Domain-Driven Design Distilled

Good abridged and condensed read on DDD from the DDD expert.It is detour to understand the concepts as things have been fleshed out to make you understand a tough subject in as less few pages.It would be great this book adds more examples.Net net a must read for experienced developers.

Good book for a quick refresher if you already know/use DDD... If you're new, you're better off with the red book.

Domain-Driven Design Distilled is about, well, Domain-Driven Design! My team has started using it (and didn't let me know...), so I needed to pick up a general idea of what DDD is, how it fits into a project, how to use it to model a project, etc., and I needed it fast.This book absolutely delivers on that. I left with a better understanding of DDD and all the weird things my team has started doing. I also got a better idea on how to approach planning and architecting from the business perspective, so it becomes easier to associate the business rules and ideas with the code. (It can be a major challenge.)You'll get a few high-level DDD activities, but if you were hoping for something that goes deep, this isn't the book for you. It's right in the title after all: *Distilled*. The same author has another book that goes way deeper. That's the one you should get. That, or the one by O'Reilly.

L'essentiel y est exprimé clairement

The book gives a very good and short introduction on a high level into DDD. At work we made at least our tech leads read it. But the book is for sure no replacement for the blue and red book. So if you read this and hope to get away with it, if you really want to become familiar with DDD, then you should still read the blue and red book.

As a veteran developer I actually hadn't used DDD, much to the surprise of my younger colleagues. Embarking upon a rare greenfield project we identified that DDD was the approach we needed and I therfore needed to very quickly grasp the basics. With this book I was able to do this in a weekend and also become a lot more enthusiastic about DDD too!

It is a book really easy to read, it stays on the surface of all the topics related to DDD that you should at least know and understand. It gives also references to drill down into each topic if you need to. This book is a very good introduction and first step to understand DDD and to know the vocabulary and main concepts.
