Whole Platform at Code Generation 2012

2012-02-23T19:09:00.000+01:00

We are pleased to invite you at our case study session at Code Generation 2012 titled Integrating model driven technologies in the publishing industry.

Learn how it has been easy to build a professional solution in the domain of digital media authoring using the Whole Platform.
A large part of the solution will be reimplemented live and you will be trained on using the Whole Platform languages to define models and transformations.

Don't miss the opportunity to meet the core team of the Whole Platform during the conference!

Language Oriented Programming Lectures

In the past seven years the Whole Platform has been the subject of several lectures of the Software Design course at the University of Bologna.
The main topics of the course were UML and Design Patterns, practical examples were shown using the Java programming language. Such examples were part of a main case study developed throughout the entire course.
At the end of the course, a solution to the case study was presented using the Whole Platform, showing how to engineer the software development process using a Language Workbench.
The students were allowed to implement the final project assignment either by handcrafting it or by generating it using the Whole Platform.

Today, as part of the Software Engineering course, I started the lectures of the Language Oriented Programming module.
The Whole Platform will be used as the reference Language Workbench to illustrate the subjects analyzed.
A short summary of the lectures' topics follows:

Language Engineering
Generative Programming
Domain Specific Languages
Modeling Languages
Transformation Languages
Integration Languages
Language Testing

A project developed using the Whole Platform will be part of the final examination.
