So Far In The Series, we’ve looked at Planning, Abstraction, Encapsulation, and Testing. That’s a good place to start – the last major section to set out our groundwork is the dreaded thing of Documentation. As developers, we’re naturally divided into a dichotomy of documentation – we either love it and document all the things or hate it and document none of the things. I advocate for a place in the middle – Document the things we need documented, not the things we don’t. by Christopher Miller

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an approach to software development that focuses on understanding and dealing with complex business needs. We will explore the strengths of DDD, including its approach to structuring software around an abstract model of a business problem and creating a ‘ubiquitous language’ for communication among developers and domain experts. We’ll look at the strategic and tactical aspects of DDD and show that the central benefit of this approach is improved collaboration, better understanding of business processes, and ultimately, better and more flexible software. by Rob Allen
