Xtext: Webinar and Eclipse Demo Camp

Tomorrow (Tue, 8th of June) will be my Xtext presentation day ;-)

At 5pm CEST I will jump in for Sebastian in the Xtext Webinar. Sven and me will give a free one hour live seminar on Xtext introducing the framework and demonstrating its new fancy features in Helios. Moritz will assist us in answering your questions on the live chat. It's free and it's broadcast live via internet. Why not join?

If you're based in Germany's Ruhr area, you might want to visit the Eclipse Demo Camp in Dortmund. I will give another 20min demo of Xtext and - guess what - its new amazing features! But even for non-Xtext enthusiasts there will be nice demos, e.g on SAP's new graphical modeling framework "Graphiti", on developing Android apps with Eclipse and a lot more intriguing topics.

Finally, I plan to have my hopefully well-earned after-work pint in the Eclipse Stammtisch.

Xtext in Essen aftermath

Thursday was the hottest day this summer in Germany. But despite 30° C and thunderstorms a bunch of Java enthusiasts made it to the meeting of the ruhrjug, the Java user group in Essen (Germany).

Having a talk on Domain-specific Languages with Xtext was once again a refreshing experience, as the audience appeared very interested and posed a lot of intriguing questions. The whole thing has been recorded on video (sorry, it's in German), so you'll be able to see me sweating as soon as I have the link.



Thanks to Heiko Sippel and Peter Rossbach who organized the meeting and Prof. Dr. Michael Goedicke our host from the University of Essen/Duisburg at that night.





By the way, if you're hilarious about Xtext, don't forget to join our Model Prize Laureate competition and win a Google Phone, a ticket to the Eclipse Summit Europe or other fancy and geeky prizes!

PS: The video is now online. Watch me sweating at http://www.ruhrjug.de/videos/gse.lectures.app/Talk.html#Xtext.

Xtext in Essen

I'll be giving a talk on Domain-specific languages with Xtext to the Java User Group ruhrjug in Essen (Germany), Thursday the 20th of August, 18:30h.

So if you're based in the Ruhr area, bored by your summer holiday and keen to learn more about DSLs in practice, why not give it a try?

To avoid finding yourself in the wrong location, please note that this is the first ruhrjug event at the new location Glaspavillon Campus Essen.
