Review: Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns
Today I’m starting a new category where I’ll post my reviews about books I’ve read. Last week I’ve finished reading Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns, by Jimmy Nilson. Well, what can I say? It’s really an extraordinary book… it can really be considered the best of its kind, if you’re looking for some real stuff and examples on DDD and TDD. Jimmy’s writing is really easy to read (which is always a good thing). The examples are good and do really help you grasp the concepts that are presented in this book.
You may be tempted to compare Jimmy’s book with Eric Evans Domain Driven Design. In my opinion, Jimmy‘s book is more “down-to-earth” while Evan’s book can be considered a little bit more abstract. Nevertheless, it’s a great book also. So, if you’re looking to a head’s start into DDD and TDD go ahead and buy Jimmy’s book. Please note that I’m not saying that you shouldn’t buy Evans book; if you can, then buy both; however, if you want to buy only one, the go for Applying Domain-Driven Design.
