I got into Orland last night and I gave a presentation about DSL Tools at the TechEd Academic Days this morning. We have a new presentation with new demos running on top of the new DSL Tools release. I hope that we can make these samples available via download after TechEd.

At TechEd 2005 there are a number of sessions around DSL Tools:

• We have put together a Hands-on Lab for the DSL Tools. You can use any lab machine at TechEd and go through a demo of the latest DSL Tools bits. The demo is using the new compartment shape features and includes a little C# code generator. The code for this lab is ARC04.
• I present a breakout session about DSL Tools called Domain Specific Language Tools for Model-Driven Development in Visual Studio 2005 on Wednesday, 2pm. The code for the session is ARC411 (location S210E). If you are interested you can meet me later in Cabana 05 at 3:45pm (Wednesday). This is session ARCC11.
• On Wednesday, 10:15am, one of our academic partners, Northface University, will give a Cabana 'Chalk-talk' about building a designer for ORM. The code for this session is ARCC09 (in Cabana 05).
• During the week you can meet Pedro Silva and Grayson Myers from our team at the Architect Cabana. They both developed major pieces of the DSL Tools and the underlying modeling platform. See Pedro's blog for details.
• On Monday, 1:30pm, there is a breakout session about Building and Using a Software Factory (code ARC302, location S210E) from Jack Greenfield and Wojtek Kozaczynski. The designers built with the DSL Tools will be part of the demos in this session.

Meet me and other members of the DSL team at TechEd!
