What’s it all about?

As a fellow developer you probably love learning to master the craft and want to write better software.

Since being introduced to domain-driven design it's provided me a new perspective and enabled me to model complex concepts and build higher quality software than ever before.

This book is an attempt to share my passion and knowledge for building quality software using domain-driven design principles. It aims to enable you to start implementing DDD concepts into your software engineering.
