About The Book

"Domain-Driven Design with Laravel" is the complete guide to mastering DDD the Laravel way. The book covers topics like:

  • Simplifying ugly controllers with the help of Actions

  • Leaning out your models with Custom Query Builders

  • Using View Models to query data for a specific page

  • Writing very high-level code with Custom Collections

  • Getting rid of random arrays like $data using Value Objects and DTOs

  • Removing annoying status strings like draft or approved with States and Transitions

  • Structuring your code using Domains and Applications

  • Applying CQRS in the most simple yet effective form

  • …And much more

All of the above by building a complex, real-world application. No “hello world” or “smells like a Youtube tutorial” examples. We will implement an e-mail marketing application such as ConvertKit or MailChimp, to be more precise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes, for 30 days! Just reach out to me at martin@martinjoo.dev, and you'll get your money back. I'll only ask you why didn't you like the product.

Exactly what files are included?

This can be different based on what package you purchase.Basic: one PDF file that contains the 273-page book.Plus: two PDFs and a ZIP file. One PDF for the book, another one for the case study. The ZIP file contains the source code of the portfolio and dividend tracker application.Premium: four PDFs and two ZIP files. One PDF for the book, one for the case study, one for "Testing Complex Features," and another for "Static Analysis And CI/CD." One of the ZIP files contains the source code of the portfolio and dividend tracker application. The other one has the source code of MailTool.

Can I upgrade from one package to another later?

Yes! Just drop me an e-mail at martin@martinjoo.dev, and I'll create you a discount code, so you only have to pay the difference between the two packages.

Is there an epub or mobi format?

Right now, every content ships in PDF format. The reason is simple: each PDF contains a ton of code examples. These code examples look very nice in a PDF where I can use HTML to format the pages.epub and mobi kind of mess this up, so this is why I exported everything in PDF.However, if you cannot live without these formats, drop me an e-mail, and I can export a copy for you.
