DDD — Notes from the big blue book. Part 6

Chapter 11 — Applying Analysis Patterns

• Have to make calculated compromises to the design to allow for good implementation
• Parts of the program we don’t suspect can benefit from a domain model — they can be uncovered with analysis patters
• Example in this chapter was the nightly script that was run
• Analysis patterns are more guiding than prescriptive

Chapter 12 — Relating Design Patterns to the Model

• Design patterns can be applied to domain models by thinking about them in a different way — from a domain logic perspective
• When applying a design pattern in the domain, first check whether it is a good fit for the domain concept
• Example used in this chapter was the composite pattern with nodes representing shipment routes
