Domain-Driven Design Using Naked Objects--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf

Raleigh, NC--Domain-driven design (DDD) focuses on what matters most in enterprise application
development: the core business domain. But applying DDD in order to elicit requirements and
business rules from domain experts is not easy: users need to see the application in action.

For Dan Haywood, author of Domain-Driven Design Using Naked Objects (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $36.95),
the answer lies in Naked Objects, an open-source Java framework. In this book, he shows enterprise
application developers how Naked Objects can deliver working prototypes to users. With these
prototypes, domain experts can test ideas and see them rendered in a generic viewer, such as a rich
client or HTML. Naked Objects takes care of the presentation layer so developers and users can
focus on domain concepts. Failures are caught in the design stage rather than in subsequent, more
expensive, phases of development.

Throughout the three main parts of the book--tools, techniques, and practices--Haywood encourages
readers to "wade in there and get your hands mucky." Readers get to implement what they learn in
each chapter, leading to the full design of an enterprise system supporting core operational
business requirements. Code snippets (in the book and online) and end-of-chapter exercises keep
readers focused on real use, not theory.

Although application developers are the primary audience of the book, business analysts, database
specialists, and project managers will value the author's guidance on domain concepts, analysis,
and scenario testing. Non-Java developers who are familiar with other object-oriented languages or
.NET should have no trouble following the examples in Java code. Developers can deploy to
conventional architectures or onto Naked Objects itself.

Now developers can realize the full potential of domain-driven design, and help users visualize and
articulate their needs faster and with greater precision. Domain-Driven Design Using Naked Objects
is your key to better applications, faster.

Advance Praise
"Domain-driven design comes alive in this book, as it is demonstrated by example on every page.
Furthermore, Naked Objects is shown to be the ideal support for the approach, focusing as it does
on the core concepts of a system's domain. Dan Haywood's easy style means that the complex ideas in
this book come across very clearly. Don't just read this book...mark, learn, and inwardly digest!"
--Andy Carmichael, CEO, OpenXprocess Ltd.
