Laying the Foundation

Domain-driven design (DDD) has been around for almost two decades. During this time, it has seen a sharp increase in interest because of its clear guidelines and tactical strategies and approaches to the problems that you might face when developing applications in any industry, particularly complex ones. It is immensely practical in the real world and has provided solutions for what used to be a lack of any standards or practices suggesting how to best go about solving the underlying business’s domain-specific problems…the kind you don’t see in everyday programming and wouldn’t even write if it weren’t in the context of the domain that your business operates in to achieve a goal (which is probably to make a profit, but may be to service customers, support users, market products, tracking metrics, etc.).
