Hands-On Domain-Driven Design with .NET Core

By: Alexey Zimarev

Overview of this book

Developers across the world are rapidly adopting DDD principles to deliver powerful results when writing software that deals with complex business requirements. This book will guide you in involving business stakeholders when choosing the software you are planning to build for them. By figuring out the temporal nature of behavior-driven domain models, you will be able to build leaner, more agile, and modular systems. You’ll begin by uncovering domain complexity and learn how to capture the behavioral aspects of the domain language. You will then learn about EventStorming and advance to creating a new project in .NET Core 2.1; you’ll also and write some code to transfer your events from sticky notes to C#. The book will show you how to use aggregates to handle commands and produce events. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with Bounded Contexts, Context Map, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. After translating domain models into executable C# code, you will create a frontend for your application using Vue.js. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to refactor your code and cover event versioning and migration essentials. By the end of this DDD book, you will have gained the confidence to implement the DDD approach in your organization and be able to explore new techniques that complement what you’ve learned from the book.

Facilitating an EventStorming workshop

This section provides practical advice and shares some real-life experience for you as a facilitator of an EventStorming workshop. Remember that you do not need to sell DDD in your organization before doing EventStorming. This rather simple but very effective technique can help even if you have no plans to do DDD in your project. It will help you to build an understanding of the domain, for which you plan to create some software. It also creates a better relationship between developers and their potential users, since they will be openly discussing the problems that users have and showing empathy to these problems, while simultaneously seeking solutions.
