In this course, Domain-Driven Design: The Big Picture, you’ll get an overview of the essential concepts of DDD. First, you’ll learn the philosophy behind DDD and when it makes sense to apply it. Next, you’ll learn about strategic design, for example using Bounded Contexts. Finally, you’ll look at tactical design concepts offered by DDD, such as entities, aggregates, and domain services. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll know what DDD is all about, so you can determine whether you want to dive in deeper and learn how to implement DDD in practice.
