Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson - Examples in C# and .NET

I finished reading Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns With Examples in C# and .NET by Jimmy Nilsson. Jimmy is touching on a lot of subjects in the book, which is no easy task. The main focus of the book is on the value of a domain model and the implementation of the domain layer using Domain-Driven Design. However, he is also touching on topics which are the subjects of many books, topics like: Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, OOP, and Design Patterns.
