Domain-Driven Design: Tacking Complexity In the Heart of Software » (1st Edition)

Eric Evans is the founder of Domain Language, a consulting group dedicated to helping companies build evolving software deeply connected to their businesses. Since the 1980s, Eric has worked as a designer and programmer on large object-oriented systems in several complex business and technical domains. He has also trained and coached development teams in Extreme Programming.

Written for object-oriented software developers, this book describes an approach to creating software that is meaningfully involved in user's activities and takes the ultimate application into consideration. The author condenses best practices from object-oriented domain modeling into a set of basic building blocks, outlines a discovery process that implements an initial design then transforms it repeatedly, and addresses some design problems that arise in complex systems, larger organizations, and interactions with external systems and legacy systems.
