It was alright. It was a bit kind of...introductory. If you know that you should be making a domain that describes your situation and things like "it should not allow for invalid states" then you aren't gonna get much from this.

Make impossible states unrepresentable (in your type system).

A must read for anyone into DDD and being curious on how to leverage F# in domain modeling.

This book walks you through the key concepts of Domain Driven Design in a practical and easy to grok manner. Examples are well crafted and do not require expertise of F# (I read it with a little knowledge of a similar language, Kotlin). It helped me learn the "why" behind functional patterns.

The journey starts with identifying the Vocabulary for a Domain (ubiquitous language) using Event Storming. Next modeling with Types is covered. Workflows are represented with Functions along with the Types. Second part covers implementation strategies - dependency injection, handling effects with railway oriented programming and so on.

The book gives an example of how to create a larger system using functional programming and DDD. The focus is heavily on solving the problem and communicating the solution to non-programmers. I found it a really good introduction to DDD and thinking about system design.
