Alexey Zimarev is a software architect with a present focus on domain models, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), event sourcing, message-driven systems and microservices, coaching, and mentoring. Alexey is also a contributor to several open source projects, such as RestSharp and MassTransit, and is the organizer of the DDD Norway meetup.

Marcin Budny is a software developer with over a decade of experience in designing and building systems. He specializes in getting to the bottom of things and finding the worst-case scenarios. Mostly focused on the .NET ecosystem, he likes to venture into other territories to steal good ideas.

Marcin works mostly with Poland-based companies that cooperate with partners around the globe. That has resulted in a broad spectrum of challenges that he has had to face, which he has now turned into topics to share with his local software development community.

In this book, Marcin debuts as a reviewer.

Nick Tune is the coauthor of two books, Patterns, Principles and Practices of Domain-Driven Design (Wrox) and Designing Autonomous Teams and Services (O'Reilly), and frequently writes about technical leadership at NT.Coding().

If you're interested in becoming an author for Packt, please visit authors.packtpub.com and apply today. We have worked with thousands of developers and tech professionals, just like you, to help them share their insight with the global tech community. You can make a general application, apply for a specific hot topic that we are recruiting an author for, or submit your own idea.

This book will help you solve complex business problems by understanding users better, finding the right problem to solve, and building lean, event-driven systems to give your customers what they really want. You will be taken through the fundamentals of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles and how it can be applied using modern tools such as EventStorming, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. Through this book, you will learn how DDD applies directly to various architectural styles, such as REST, reactive systems, and microservices. You will empower teams to work flexibly with improved services and decoupled interactions.

This book is for .NET developers who have an intermediate level understanding of C#, and for those who seek to deliver value, not just write code. An intermediate level of competence in JavaScript will be helpful for the UI chapters.

, Why Domain-Driven Design? , covers the concepts of problem and solution spaces, requirements specifications, complexity, knowledge, and ignorance. These topics have a significant impact on how and what we deliver.

, Language and Context, deep dives into the importance of language and explains Ubiquitous Language.

, EventStorming, explores one of the most popular techniques for domain modeling and goes through some practical tips on how to organize useful workshops between domain experts and developers.

, Designing the Model, goes deeper into the modeling process, with more of a focus on artifacts that can help us to start writing code and deliver initial prototypes as soon as possible.
