New Modeling in Text Video Series (with transcripts)
David Langworthy, the Microsoft architect who owns The “Oslo” Modeling Language Specification, has updated his popular “Modeling in Text” video with a new five-part series that walks through the specific process of creating a domain-specific language. We’re also pleased to announce that a full text transcript of this key series is now also available.

MRepl Now Available as a Sample
In previous CTPs, the "M" Read-Evaluate-Print Loop or MRepl environment for "Intellipad" was only available as a binary. With the May CTP, it's no longer built into the SDK but can now be downloaded in source form. This both continues to make this valuable learning environment available and demonstrates how to host an arbitrary scripting environment inside of "Intellipad".

New "Quadrant" Videos
With these two videos we start what should be a series of videos on working with "Quadrant" as released in the "Oslo" May 09 CTP. The first is Exploring the "Oslo" Repository and Connecting to Data, showing how to connect to arbitrary databases and explore their content. The second is Using "M" to Create Custom Icons and Display Names, showing how to author "M" modules to configure these basic aspects of "Quadrant".

JavaScript implementation of "M"
Matthew Wilson is pushing "M" into the land of browser client-side scripting with his partial (but growing!) JavaScript implementation, as seen in his web 3-pane "M" grammar mode ala Intellipad. It's work like this that could make "M" a cross-platform solution for languages as well as data types and values. Good job, Matt!
