Abstract

A horrible lie exists in our industry today: it says that defining a graphical DSL is difficult and time intensive. In this tutorial, we will lay bare this fallacy and demonstrate how simple and quick it is to create domainspecific modelling languages and their generators. Through a hands-on approach, we define a modelling language and related generators in a few hours. More than just a technical exercise, we will show how this reflects industry experiences in various domains and companies.
