Developing DSLs with Eclipse
Talk by Peter Friese, itemis. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are becoming more and more popular, allowing developers to express their intent more precisely and with less syntactic noise. DSLs can be built on top of a host language (like Java or Ruby), which are referred to as "internal DSLs". External DSLs are far more flexible in terms of language design: you can define any desired grammar, you can define domain specific constraints and error messages, and you can process the DSL in a concise manner because it can either be interpreted or transformed into the code of any language by a generator. TMF Xtext, which is a part of the Eclipse Galileo release, is a framework for developing textual domain-specific languages. Given an EBNF-style grammar, Xtext automatically generates an Ecore meta model and a rich-featured, fully configurable text-based DSL editor including features such as syntax highlighting, hyperlinked reference navigation, reference look-up, code completion, formatting, an outline and so on. The default implementation can easily be customized. In this session Peter will explain what DSLs are and why you should care about using them. After a short introduction, he will show how to develop DSLs with TMF Xtext, which is a part of this year's Galileo release. You will learn how to define a grammar for a DSL and create a full-blown editor for this DSL, featuring code completion, syntax highlighting, hyperlinking, a semantic outline and more. Peter will also ...

Life's Too Short - Write Fast Code (part 2)
Google Tech Talks Web Exponents presented by Steve Souders March 5, 2009 blog post: google-code-updates.blogspot.com This is the second talk based on Steve's next book, Even Faster Web Sites, the follows-up to High Performance Web Sites. The first talk presented three new best practices: Split the Initial Payload, Load Scripts Without Blocking, and Don't Scatter Inline Scripts. The most important of these is loading external scripts without blocking other downloads and preventing page rendering. One complication is this may introduce undefined symbol errors if inlined code uses symbols from the external scripts. Luckily, there are several techniques to workaround this problem. That and other topics will be covered in this presentation of three more best practices: * Coupling Asynchronous Scripts * Use Iframes Sparingly * Flush the Document Early Speaker: Steve Souders Steve Souders works at Google on web performance and open source initiatives, and previously served as the Chief Performance Yahoo!. He also co-founded Helix Systems and CoolSync, and worked at General Magic, WhoWhere?, and Lycos. Steve is the creator of YSlow, the performance analysis extension to Firebug, which has over 700000 downloads. He serves as co-chair of Velocity, the web performance and operations conference from OReilly, and is co-founder of the Firebug Working Group. He recently taught High Performance Web Sites at Stanford University. The topics from part 1 can be seen here: sites.google.com
