Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Creating Internal DSLs

We'll start with a quick overview of DSLs and look at their main characteristics. We will then discuss the key features that can help a language serve as a host language for creating internal DSLs.

We will use Groovy as a vehicle to create internal DSLs. During the session we will create a complete code for parsing and processing a simple DSL.
