Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software by Eric Evans.
A foundational book in software development, focusing on managing complexity by aligning software design with business needs. Evans introduces domain-driven design (DDD), which emphasizes using a shared language between developers and domain experts to create a model that accurately reflects the business domain.
Key DDD concepts like bounded contexts, entities, value objects, aggregates, and repositories are explored, helping organize code in a way that mirrors real-world scenarios, making systems easier to understand and maintain. Evans blends theory with practical examples, making it both a theoretical guide and a practical manual for developers.
Domain-Driven Design is a must-read for developers and architects. Author provides valuable strategies for managing complexity and building software that meets business needs, making this book essential for mastering software design.
