Textual DSLs Made Simple

Summary
In this presentation filmed during QCon London 2008, Markus Voelter tried to convince the audience that writing a textual external DSL is fairly straightforward and simple. He took them through the steps needed to create a textual DSL from defining the grammar to processing a domain model.

Just a note to the reader: An alternative is TCS, it allows Text2Model and Model2Text transormations and also generates an editor (complete with syntax highlighting and an outline).
Link: wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/TCS
Maybe TCS is a bit less mature but it works for me. I am using it for my Master Project @ University of Twente.
I am creating a language wich can be used to specify the semantics of your language based on Structural Operational Semantics (SOS, by Plotkin), with this semantic-description you can simulate your language.

Using Java tools and Java samples shouldn't this presentation be in the Java community also?

Wladimir, the presentation was inadvertently marked for .NET instead Java. Fixed. Thanks for noticing.

Since the video is mostly a talking head, are the View-graphs or slides available online?
And he references his paper on the topic, available?
