TITLE:
From Code Munger to Partial Class Generator: Developing lightweight software generators for daily use – Part I

ABSTRACT:
Within this two lectures, various lightweight generators (e.g. code munger, inline code expander, mixed code generator and partial class generators) shall be developed for concrete tasks on the basis of regular expressions. It is aimed at automatically generating large parts of the mechanical, and, hence, boring code. The input of the generators consists of existing code, from which information is extracted and then transformed to source code, or of simple models describing the application to be implemented. The lecture will be aimed at familiarizing the participants with the power of regular expressions and at demonstrating their suitability for software development. After the lecture, the participants will be able to recognize the potential of lightweight generators in software development and also will be able to develop their own generators based on regular expressions.
