Practical Product Lines: Presentation
Please check out new blog for a copy of my presentation from the PPL conference on the SystemsForge product line.
KCWebCore Presentation - Slides
Just finished a presentation to the Kansas City user groups. Here is the deck, and I'll be releasing some core code for playing with some time next week! It's not my whole framework, but it's enough for anyone to start creating and implementing DSLs in ColdFusion using XML and base classes.
Thanks for the invite guys - especially Jim, Dee and Doug.
RAD OO Deck from CF United
Here is the final copy of the RAD OO deck. I'm really happy with the way this presentation is coming together - I think it's finally getting a flow that makes it easy to introduce people to using DSLs in CFML while also introducing ideas like the IBO and custom data types.
Requirements and Estimating Deck from CF United
Here's a copy of my deck from the Requirements and Estimating presentation at CF United. It provides an introduction to different processes for estimating small, medium and large sites using everything from re-usable specs to Intent Driven Design through agile approaches. I'm repeating on Saturday if anyone missed the talk.
Code Generation Panelists
On Thursday 18th June at Murray Edwards College (formerly New Hall), Cambridge, UK I'll be moderating a panel on The State of the Art in Domain Specific Modeling. I've been lucky enough to get an amazing panel consisting of Steve Cook (Microsoft), Juha-Pekka Tolvanen (MetaCase), Jos Warmer (Ordina) and Markus Völter ((Independent / itemis)) - four of the top minds in Domain Specific Modeling/code generation.
The topic is:
"Elegant support for refactoring DSLs. Better tooling for simplifying meta-model specification. Seamless integration between visual and textual model representations. What are the top DSM practitioners thinking about, frustrated about and excited about? A fast paced panel discussion with top practitioners sharing what they feel the limitations and issues still are in improving the effectiveness of Domain Specific Modeling and what new approaches and ideas they are excited about or are having great results with."
It's not too late to come along to find more about what the future of code generation, domain specific modeling and raising the level of abstraction in software development might hold!
Requirements and Estimating Presentation from SoTR 09
Just got back to New York from presenting at Scotch on the Road in London. It was a great event as always and it was cool to catch up with a lot of old friends (and a few new ones)in the UK.
I gave a presentation on Requirements and Estimating, looking at different approaches to handling requirements for small configuration, medium sized customization and larger exploration projects and tips and techniques on managing risk and clients for each type of project.
As usual there was a lot more in the presentation than in the slides, but here is a copy of the deck and if there's enough interest I may do an online presentation for the Online CF meetup later this summer. What do you think?
git BoF and Stu Halloways Deck
We just had a BoF session on git at cf.Objective(). Here are some slides from Stu Halloways presentation at NFJS the other month. If you're looking to get started with git, it's a pretty good resource . . .
Interviewed for domaindrivendesign.org on Domain Specific Modeling
After a recent presentation I gave at the New York DDD meetup, Vlad Gitlevitch interviewed me about Domain Specific Modeling as it relates to Domain Driven Design. The interview is now online.
