Reading the Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns book

I am half way through reading the Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns book written by Jimmy Nilsson.I have always wondered how do domain-driven design, test-driven development and O/R mapper play together. Eric Evans's Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software got me started on Domain-driven development. The book talked a lot about the different theories behind domain-driven development and the importance of ubiquitous language but it lacked concrete example. As a newbie to domain-driven development, I was very much in need for some concrete examples.

The Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns book serves as an excellent complement to Eric's book. I like author's pragmatic style. The author understands the nature of software very well so he doesn't try to establish a "standard" way of solving a problem but rather providing several solutions with their pros and cons enumerated. Therefore, I will be able to choose the best solution that fits the problem. Unfortunately, the book doesn't come with any source code and the NWorkspace framework mentioned by the author is no where found on the Internet.
