If it seems like it's been a little quiet on the CGN site, let me assure you that it is the calm before the storm. I'm currently working on a brand new MDA hub page which will be a focal point of our information on MDA. In addition to that I have a huge number of interviews coming up:
- Stefan Tilkov of innoq on his iQgen MDA generator
- Daniel Cazzulino of the NMatrix project
- David Frankel, author of Model Driven Architecture: Applying MDA to Enterprise Computing
- Mike Williams on vDoclet
- Anneke Kleppe, co-author of MDA Explained: The Model Driven Architecture--Practice and Promise
- Stephanie Miller of Iron Speed
- Krzysztof Czarnecki, author of Generative Programming
- Craig Cleaveland, author of Program Generators with XML and Java.
And if that wasn't enough my co-author on my database generation chapter is writing an article on his port of the generator from J2EE to PHP.
Plus Mark Hofmann and I are collaborating on an article on MDA which compares the different generators by applying them all to a simple test case application.
Oh, yeah, and then there is the book, which comes out as an ebook next week and I'll have a special blurb on the site about that.
What has been lost is my article on the writing of the book, which I know is on my tiBook somewhere. Oh, well, maybe when everything settles down.
In about two months I reckon we will be the number one source of information about code generation on the planet. Which is sorta saying a lot, and not a lot, all at the same time. <g>
