In exactly one month we will have our event: “Everything you need to know about JetBrains MPS” in Munich. During the event, our speakers will give you some real-life examples and insight into DSLs that are being used effectively within many different industries. The event is completely free but space is limited and so registration is required. Register here. Have a great day! Your JetBrains MPS Team The Drive to Develop

Dear Friends, Our community is growing and we believe that the exchange of knowledge and experience is key to building better products with MPS. We are happy to announce our first MPS community event is happening Spring 2018. This event will focus on 3 main topics: sharing what everyone is doing with MPS, introducing the technology to new and prospective users, and explaining our future plans as the MPS team. When and where?! Well, we think we have to decide this as a community, so we have created this 3-minute survey to help you get involved. Please answer this survey. Have a nice d

Join us on our webinar Projectional Editing and Its Implications in Domain Specific Languages on Tuesday, September 19th  from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM CEST (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT) We have been taught for many years how programming should be done. Have we ever stopped for a second and questioned whether perhaps there is a better way? During this webinar, we will challenge the status quo and expand the boundaries of what it is known as “normal”. Our goal is for you to leave this session inspired, enriched, and motivated to try something new. Register here. The Drive to Develop -JetBra

The LWC event, which this year is organized as a workshop at the SPLASH conference, is getting closer. We’re happy to inform you that MPS will be represented by a team of four brave MPS enthusiasts, who will compete against the other workbenches with an MPS-based system. Correction: As indicated in the comments, LWC stands for Language Workbench Challenge, not competition. Sorry for the mistake. Their solution leverages the mbeddr documentation language to take care of the presentation side of the system and relies heavily on the core MPS capabilities to solve the project challenges:

If you are curious to hear some news, insights and future plans about MPS and if you have missed the interview about MPS that Federico Tomassetti has posted last week, this is a good time to check it out. The article will tell you more about the upcoming features, detail the web-based projectional editor, give some examples of MPS usages in the wild as well as provide opinions on positioning MPS on the software tool market. We would like to thank Federico for coming up with this wonderful idea, preparing spot-on questions as well as adding his own opinions to the mix. Enjoy reading the i

Those, who would like to put their hands on MPS and make their first steps in language design under supervision of the MPS team members, have now an opportunity to join a free workshop organized by SkillsMatter in London on September 26th 2013. Alex Shatalin and Václav Pech will guide you through the various aspects on language definition so we can build several DSLs and language extensions and then integrate them into a Java project. If you're waiting for a good opportunity to get familiar with MPS, now is the time to act. Develop with pleasure! -JetBrains MPS Team

Are you coming to Code Generation 2013? The JetBrains MPS and YouTrack teams are sending a four member crew this year.

On Thursday 11th during the Have Your Language Built While You Wait session, we'll be available to help you start prototyping your own language. You'll also be able to grab us for a chat any time at the JetBrains booth down in the lobby and discuss whatever comes to mind related to DSLs, MPS and life. See you there! Develop
