A Technical Drilldown into "All Things M"
(part of the forthcoming Oslo platform)
Topic
Microsoft has embarked on a major initiative to make it easier to design, construct, deploy and manage distributed applications and services. The Oslo modeling platform is a key part of this vision, and "M", a new way to describe models, lies at the heart of Oslo. In this session we drill into the composite parts of M: MSchema, MGrammar and MGraph. We will see how these pieces can be used to create a DSL (Domain Specific Language) and how that DSL can be used. We will also look at the tooling that Microsoft is providing to work with textual and graphical DSLs. We will demo a DSL that can be used as a REST client.
