Eclipse Summit Europe 2009

I am looking forward to Eclipse Summit Europe 2009 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

My colleagues from itemis and me, we're once again going to have our share:

Sebastian Zarnekow, Karsten Thoms, Markus Voelter and me are going to give a tutorial on Domain-specific Languages with Eclipse Modeling, in which we show how to set up your own easy-to-use MDSD toolchain.

In the short talk Combining Graphics and Text in Modeling Tools, Jos Warmer and me will be elaborating on mixing concrete syntaxes for the same model using state-of-the-art modeling tool frameworks such as Xtext and GMF.

In the talk Xtext - From Galileo to Helios, Sven Efftinge and Sebastian Zarnekow are presenting the future plans for Xtext.

Finally, Andreas Graf and Markus Voelter are going to talk on Leighweight Model-Driven Development for Embedded Systems.

So, maybe there's something in for you, too?

Slides from Xtext Workshop at Code Generation 2009

Code Generation 2009 has been a lot of fun. Yesterday, Moritz, Sebastian and me gave a hands-on workshop on Xtext. Participants seemed to like it and we could even convince Steven Kelly from Metacase to give it a try. I've uploaded the slides to slideshare, so if you wish to learn something about Xtext, you can have a look at it here.

Back to Kiel, we are now sweating to give Xtext the last polish before it is released with Galileo.
