…the Heart of Software. The book is quite dry and, in the small, it seems to describe nothing new, but by the end it was quite deep. For impatient readers, I recommend Abel Avram and Floyd Marinescu's Domain-Driven Design Quickly, available as a free PDF: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly
on “Rob Pike on Object Oriented programming” ↗…Domain-Driven Design mentioned. As DHH said it's a bit of a slog - but worthwhile. For those who want a good overview and don't fancy the slog I'd recommend taking a look at http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly - a 100 page summary of the book from InfoQ. The original is definitely worth a read - the summary might let you see why it's worth the effort ;-)
on “The Programming Books That Meant The Most To Me” ↗This may be a non-answer answer, but given you are versed on the Phoenix front, may I suggest a book on the design aspect of things? For example, Domain Driven Design Quickly: https://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly... It has been a while since I have read it, so it may be dated, but hopefully others can provide suggestions too!
on “10 years-ish of Elixir” ↗Reading Eric Evan's DDD book was an epiphany for me. A less ambitious introduction to DDD is InfoQ's Domain Driven Design Quickly. It's available as a free ebook, too: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly
on “Architectures that will inspire your programming” ↗The Domain-Driven Design book is awesome, but a bit heavy. InfoQ published a nice introductory book called "Domain Driven Design Quickly". A free PDF is available, too: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly
on “Domain Driven Design When Surrounded by Legacy Development (2013) [pdf]” ↗…Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software" (2003) mentioned on this page. It is a bit of slog, but worth it. Or for a quick introduction to domain-driven design, check out the (free download) of "Domain Driven Design Quickly" e-book from InfoQ: https://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly
on “Domain Storytelling: A DDD tool to visualize domain stories in the browser” ↗Read in order: 1. Anatomy of Domain-Driven Design, S. Millett 2. Domain Driven Design quickly, InnoQ 3. Implementing Domain Driven Design, V. Vernon
on “I finally escaped Node” ↗I like DDD quickly, which is a mini book with a lot of similar concepts around microservices ( but in a monolith) https://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly...
on “Ask HN: Any place which aggregates a good TLDR of various software concepts” ↗“Domain-Driven Design Quickly” is a nice introduction to DDD concepts and patterns. The book is available free online. Much more accessible than Eric Evans’ (great but dense!) book. https://www.infoq.com/minibooks/domain-driven-design-quickly...
