Every developer must read

Last month I ordered Jimmy Nilsson’s book Applying Domain Drive Design and Patterns along with a couple of others including Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, they arrived about a 2 weeks ago.

Finally this week I have started to read ADDP and have been struggling to put it down to do anything else. IMHO this is one of the best Technical books ever written. As a newbie to DDD there is no better starting point than with this book.

Jimmy’s style of writing is very easy to read and understand. The content of course is brilliant, I have just finished reading chapter 2 and feel a few years wiser.

My advice to any developer looking for enlightenment is to read Jimmy’s book. Perfecting the use of Domain Driven Design is not something that comes easy. Even in the smallest application the value of using it is immense. I have a long way to go to become a good developer, and reading this book is going to be a big help in that process.
