Code generation in agilen Projekts
Abstract
Model−driven development is often misunderstood as being a heavy weight process. Also sometime it seems that MDD technics value tools over individuals.
However there are a lot of “agile” open source projects making use of code generation such as Ruby on Rails or Grails. Also Seam and Hibernate are prominent candidates which use code generation a lot. In this session they will show modern technics to built external DSLs and corresponding generators. They are optimized for short turnarounds and can be developed and evolved easily.
