“Domain-Driven Design” is all about an additional aspect to good software design - the domain language. While many developers intuitively know what domain driven design is all about, Eric Evans manages to communicate the concepts in a way that makes them explicit, rather than implicitely hidden in the developers train of thought.
The book is not a page-turner, since most of the concepts are not new per se. It lacks the driven spirit of Kent Beck, or the deep insight of Fred Brook’s “Mythical Man Month”. I can’t say if “Domain-Driven Design” can help a student to boost design comprehension - I think it’s rather hard to read if you lack the medium level knowledge the concepts in this book are built upon. But I recommend this book to those that already know what software design is all about intuitively and want to be able to put a finger upon the “big picture”.
