There are two classic books in the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) field, they are Eric Evans’s Domain-Driven Design and Jimmy Nilsson’s Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns. The latter is also regarded as a practical exercise for the essence of Domain-Driven Design and Martin Fowler’s Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. In short, it is a must-read book for .NET developers that takes readers on a practical, erudite journey into the world of domain-driven design.

In this book, Jimmy Nilsson combines the theoretical basis of Domain-Driven Design and Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture these two classic books with his own practices, talks about the main points of DDD, and further demonstrates these ideas in his own code. Specifically, the author combines the essence of these two classics with refactoring, test-driven development, and other techniques, explains them through a number of C# and .NET examples, and overcomes the barriers between domain models, database, and UI layers. This book really shows the practical application and important value of these concepts, as well as the entire process of creating a high quality enterprise application architecture.

More importantly, Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns also brings these concepts together, revealing the complete development path from start to finish for developers. After finishing this book, the reader will be able to really grasp these important concepts, combine them together effectively, and apply them to the actual development process. Therefore, this book is very suitable for software architects and developers to read.
