 Domain Specific Languages in Practice

Host: Neal Ford

Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) aim at bringing the abstractions in software development closer to the real world of business concerns. Lots of information exists about the plumbing to create DSLS. In this track we present practical applications and tools that are useful today.

This track covers a wide range of business areas and technical implementations. This is an area where our conferences have been following developments closely, and interest in DSLs continue its ascent as technologies become both more mature, tools and languages get better, and developers understand the advantages afforded by this technique.
