Reading through Domain Driven Design can be a real eye opener. While it can be hard to wrap your head around some of the content in the book, the author does an amazing job breaking down and explaining things, and the book is chock full of things that I wish more developers had a better understanding of. With that said, there are a few things here and there that are slightly dated in the book, but overall it's aged quite well. There's a reason why so many people consider the book to be a classic and a must read.
Now, as to the book club experience, I'd say that it went fairly well considering that it coincided with the Covid-19 state of emergency. We ultimately moved it online, such that we'd meet once a week using Google Meet. Most things were able to play out similarly to how we'd done things before, whereas before I'd cast my screen to a tv screen in the meeting room, now I simply present my screen during the conference call.
This book was another book that covered a number of things at a higher level, and as such practice problems wouldn't necessarily always apply well, so similar to the Accelerate book that we'd covered previously, I went ahead and did chapter summaries for this book. This ultimately helped stimulate conversation among the group, and also provided a way for those in the group who couldn't do the reading for the week a way to still come and participate. You can check out these chapter summaries below:
