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.

Starting up the implementation

In this section, we will create a new project and add a domain project to it.

Since we plan to implement a web application, we will consider this from the beginning and will use a web application template. We will also add some projects to host different parts of our system and tests.

If you aren't familiar with tools for .NET, you can always check Mapt, the extensive library of Packt books and video courses, and use materials from there to improve your skills. In this book, we assume that readers have an adequate level of knowledge of C# and the tools to develop applications using .NET.

Creating projects

We will start with an empty project. You need to create a .NET Core web application...
