  • Excellent

    I enjoyed this talk very much. It's one of the rare examples where the speaker really has to say something for one hour without losing track or sinking too much into little details. With many talks on InfoQ I noticed that after 30 minutes basically everything has been said and the following 30 minutes only distract from the actual message that should come across.

    A lesson about how to do good presentations! I really learned something here.

    The slides are mostly out of sync though.

  • Sides out of sync

    Excellent talk, but the slides are very out of sync in the middle (as is the case with at least 2 other presentations that I watched on InfoQ) which is a terrible pity.

    Hermann, Darscan,

    We have fixed the slide sync error now.

  • TLA

    Please always define a TLA (three letter acronym) when writing an article. The first sentence should have read "has learned about building Domain Specific Languages (DSL)". Then later references could use DSL without confusion about whether Ruby was used to make Dialogue Scripting Language or a Digital Subscriber Line or a Distributed Service Logic or a Dynamic Simulation Language
