"[The authors] are pioneers. . . . Few in our industry havetheir breadth of knowledge and experience." / -From the Foreword by Dave Thomas, Bedarra LabsDomain-Specific Modeling (DSM) is the latest approach tosoftware development, promising to greatly increase the speed andease of software creation. Early adopters of DSM have been enjoyingproductivity increases of 500-1000% in production for over adecade. This book introduces DSM and offers examples from variousfields to illustrate to experienced developers how DSM can improvesoftware development in their teams.Two authorities in the field explain what DSM is, why it works,and how to successfully create and use a DSM solution to improveproductivity and quality. Divided into four parts, the book covers:background and motivation; fundamentals; in-depth examples; andcreating DSM solutions. There is an emphasis throughout the book onpractical guidelines for implementing DSM, including how toidentify the necessary language constructs, how to generate fullcode from models, and how to provide tool support for a new DSMlanguage. The example cases described in the book are available thebook's Website, www.dsmbook.com, along with, an evaluation copy ofthe MetaEdit+ tool (for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux), which allowsreaders to examine and try out the modeling languages and codegenerators.Domain-Specific Modeling is an essential reference for leaddevelopers, software engineers, architects, methodologists, andtechnical managers who want to learn how to create a DSM solutionand successfully put it into practice.
