    …managing yourself. Currently I’m reading: Unit Testing: Principles, Practices, and Patterns by Vladimir Khorikok Designing Data Intensive Application by Martin Kleppman And very recently completed Learning Domain-Driven Design by Vlad Khononov I think the three are quite good too

    Been wondering the same since I came across DDD while reading Team Topologies. I’ve heard similar feedback on the original book, and my search led me to a recent O’Reilly book: Learning Domain-Driven Design, by Vlad Khononov It’s 340 pages and has good reviews on Amazon etc, but I’d be especially interested in feedback from anyone within a good understanding of the topic who’s read the O’Reilly book.
