Start learning DDD

Question

I would like to start learning DDD. As .net developer, I found 3 interesting books for me.

1) Applying Domain Driven Design and Patterns With Examples in C Sharp and .NET (Jimmy Nilsson)

2) .NET Domain-Driven Design with C#: Problem - Design - Solution (Tim McCarthy)

3) Domain-Driven Design - Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software (Eric Evans)

I decided to read the Eric Evans's book at the end. For now I don't know from which one I should start. How do you think ?

P.S. I have already read Domain Driven Design Quickly.

Answer 1

I also have read Domain Driven Design Quickly, and I got the feeling that not much of it sank in. I am considering the Eric Evans book next as it seems to be the most well known on the subject. In fact Domain Driven Design Quickly is supposed to be a summary of the Eric Evans book.

Answer 2

Eric Evan's Domain Driven Design book is probably the one you're looking for.

It's one of the most popular DDD books out there and you can't go wrong - .NET or not, you can pick it up relatively easily with this one. Still have my old copy in the drawer for quick reference.

Answer 3

Start with Eric Evans's book first. Jimmy Nilsson refers much to this author.

Answer 4

There's been some water under the bridge since Eric Evans wrote his seminal book.

I'd like to recommend that before reading it; listen to what he says he's learned since he wrote it.
