Steven Kelly argues that Domain Specific Modeling languages are more suitable for code generation than UML and makes the claim that model-to-code transformations work better and scale better than model-to-model (to code) transformations.

Steven Kelly talks with us about his MetaEdit+ intentional progamming system.

An introduction to code generation for software product lines from Mark Dalgarno.

Terence Parr walks us through using ANTLR and StringTemplate to create a new domain specific language called C-.

Charles Mills shows us how to use Ruby to generate contract code for C.

Terence Parr introduces StringTemplate as a code generation templating engine for Java and XML.

Michel Katz introduces us to his xJen code generation architecture.

Iain Falconer of Gentastic describes code generation as the next generation of software development. He gives an insightful look into model driven application generation fundamentals.

The database generator written for Code Generation in Action targeted the J2EE platform. Eric Rollins, the co-author of the database chapter, gives us another version of the same generator. This time the target code is PHP.

Francesco Aliverti-Piuri uses his SoProMach generator to build PHP code for database access and interactive web pages.

A simple code munger generator that reads .h files and creads value to name mappings for #define macros.

Francesco Aliverti-Piuri introduces TJPP a pre-processor for Java, similar to ELIDE, which adds pre-processor compile directive support.
