Summary: Useful principles, but very difficult to get through
Comment: This book has a lot of useful design principles, but they can be hard to garner and retain because the writing is very dry. I almost wish the suggestions were of lower quality, so that I would have had an excuse to stop reading the book. In the end, it took 2 renewals from my library to get through Domain Driven Design.
The other downside to the book is that it did not provide a clear path for me to incorporate many of the practices that it lays out. It seems like one would need an extremely high functioning and close knit team and organization to implement the suggestions in the book, and it's unclear to me how much one could do without such an ideal situation. While I can apply many of the specific design principles to my own tasks, I do not know how to leverage the larger practices of domain driven design in my organization.

Summary: Mind blowing
Comment: This book radically changed the way I design software. Domain modeling gets to the heart of object-oriented programming. The book is a bit academic and long-winded, but very deep and complete.
This is an immediate classic and required reading for any serious engineer.

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: If your process for writing an application is to start with the database, or to start designing UI, you should read this book.
There is nothing new in this book -- but you really should read it.
This book details the way many architects and analysts have been creating their applications for years, and for good reason. They start by creating domain classes that help represent data in a way that is understandable to both developer and customer. Then building out the application from there.
Read this book.

Summary: Must read
Comment: This book is just amazing. In this design world, there is so much to look for, and this guy just brings it all into one book. He answers the questions you have been asking. He compiled a lot of knowledge people already had into a wonderful set of ideas. Get it.

Comment: In my idea, it represents "The book" that each developer who wants approach Domain Driven Design methodology must have in his own books collection.
