DDD Resources – Domain Language

Our mission is to promote DDD and support the community in learning to apply it effectively. In addition to offering training, Eric Evans and the other instructors are active speakers and writers, communicating about new insights gleaned from projects.

Here we’ve collected some valuable resources for those learning about DDD and trying to adopt it.

The Big Blue Book

Domain-Driven Design, by Eric Evans, provides a broad framework for making design decisions and a vocabulary for discussing domain design. It is a synthesis of widely accepted best practices along with the author’s own insights and experiences. Projects facing complex domains can use this framework to approach domain-driven design systematically.
