Rebecca and I talk about DSLs on Software Engineering Radio

[shared via Google Reader from Martin Fowler]

I’ve long been a fan of the podcast series Software Engineering Radio. The team there have built an excellent series of podcasts on various aspects of software development and I often listen to them while taking my afternoon walk. So I’m glad to get a spot on there myself. In this episode I’m on the program with Rebecca Parsons, my colleague and co-author of my DSL book to talk about DSLs. We talk about what DSLs are, the differences between internal and external DSLs, and when you should (and shouldn’t use DSLs). The episode is hosted by Markus Völter, who, of course, is a considerable expert on DSLs too - so it’s really a three way conversation on the topic.
