Progressive F# Tutorials - New York City 2012 / Domain-specific languages in F#

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

When designing software, developers often need to solve numerous instances of a single problem. Examples include writing business rules engine, detecting patterns in changing prices and many others. Domain specific languages (DSLs) provide a powerful mechanism for solving such problems – by designing a single composable library (or a language), we get a tool that can be used to solve a number of instances of the same problem. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to write two kinds of domain-specific languages in F#. We start by looking at languages that are implemented as F# libraries and then we move on to writing your own parsers for custom spreadsheets.

Architecture and urban planning have been a useful source of ideas for thinking about programming. I have written various blog posts and a paper Programming as Architecture, Design, and Urban Planning that argue why and explore some of those ideas. Like u[...]
