I spent some time the last few days recording a short screen cast on M. You
can view it here:
Intro
to M (~ 39 minutes)
One thing I would say about M is that it may be different things to different people.
This video is just one example of what you might do with M.
I say in the title that "M is like an Onion" as an homage to Shrek (if you
haven’t seen this movie look here – Ogres
are like Onions.
It isn’t because M smells, but because M has layers. There is the whole "M".
You can split that up into MSchema, MGrammar, and MGraph. Each part might be
useful. And any one of them has a number of different interesting scenarios.
In this scenario my concept was "I’m a .NET developer, I create tables in a database
to hold my application data, so how might I use M?".
