Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns is Out

I’m very excited about Jimmy Nilsson’s new book Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET. I’ll refrain from a formal book review as I’m only one chapter in, but I can already see it’s an awesome book. With contributions and influence by Martin Fowler and Eric Evans, this is the kind of book needed badly in the .NET community. More so if you subscribe to the Domain-Driven Design thinking.

By the way, if you live in the US and don’t buy your computer books from discounters like BookPool.com, you’re getting ripped off.

I've been skimming through this, reading the samples recently. It's not bad, it's a bit chatty for what it illustrates, at least at points. I find myself wishing there was full source code available so I could evaluate the specific pieces that interest me more directly.

It comes off sort of like a workbook for DDD, with a lot of other noise thrown in (half the book seems like it's about something other than DDD and patterns... tons of stuff about TDD and NHib, etc... great, I can get that elsewhere though).

I'm not upset I bought it, but I was hoping for a stronger, deeper DDD focus.
