MPS Presentation Webinars

Monday, April 13th, 2009

This week we are starting something we are very excited about.

Konstantin Solomatov, the lead developer of JetBrains MPS, will be giving MPS presentations in a new format (at least for us) — the webinars. The first online MPS seminar will take place this Friday, April 17, at 3pm (GMT+3). The duration is 1 hour.

If you want to attend the webinar, to listen about MPS, ask questions and get them answered promptly, please send us the request at Konstantin.Solomatov@jetbrains.com.

The number of attendees is limited now, so hurry up to join. We are planning to gather the momentum and have more and more webinars, and for other our products too.

See you at the webinar!

Then we describe how JetBrains MPS solves the main problems which stop DSLs from being widely used.
