Course of Domain Modeling: Value Objects

💸 First lesson available without registration 💸

Value Objects are a Software Design pattern that provides many advantages. To list a few:

• Immutability: Value Objects are immutable, meaning that once created, they cannot be modified. This immutability can help prevent errors and make the code easier to reason about since you don't have to worry about state changes.
• Readability: By stopping the use of primitives and starting with classes, we will give semantic names. We will also have methods within the Value Objects that help us better understand the code thanks to their names.
• Reusability: Value Objects act as a magnet for our code. From the moment we model a CourseName class, any logic that belongs to it will go there instead of being duplicated in multiple places or with some forced abstraction.

Among other things, in this course you will learn to:

• ✨ Leverage the potential of Value Objects: More maintainable applications
• 🧼 Transform an application without Value Objects
• 🫡 Value Objects beyond their class
• 🫰 Value Objects under discussion: How we store, instantiate, and test
