I know what DSL is now, thanks to Peter Bell!

Last Thursday at the NZ CFUG group we tried something new.

For the first time we watched a recording of a Connect meeting and had discussion about it once it finished.

After voting by the CFUG members for the topic, "Practical Code Generation" by Peter Bell was chosen.

About this Presentation (taken from UGTV):

A 20-30 minute preview session of my full session where we'd learn how to generate your applications in a fraction of the time by using the latest techniques proven to reduce application development times - from Software Product Lines to Domain Specific Languages.

The meeting was given to the "Online ColdFusion User Group" a couple of months back.

I've heard the phrase "Domain Specific Languages" (DSL) thrown round a bit and generally I nodded my head hoping the person using it wouldn't ask me about it, as I didn't really know what it meant...

In the presentation Peter took some pains to explain what a DSL is and how they can be used in code generation.

I found it to be a highly information presentation, so kudos to Peter Bell for this and also Charlie Arehart for running (and recording) the meeting

The link to the recording is here: https://admin.acrobat.com/_a204547676/p26665304/, so have a look when you get a chance!

PS: there can *never* be enough TLA's in the world! *NEVER*!
