Description
The iSAQB DSL course covers the design and implementation of Domain-Specific Languages to model business rules and workflows. It teaches participants how to identify DSL use cases and integrate them into software architectures.
Key Topics:
Internal and external DSLs
Concrete and abstract syntax
Code generation and interpretation techniques
Language workbenches and parser generators
Build process integration and development environments
Language maintenance and versioning
This course is a module of the iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA) Advanced Level. It provides the technical skills to connect business requirements with technical implementation.
What You Will Learn
Participants learn to create DSLs to model complex rules, processes, and entities efficiently. The course covers the basics of syntax, semantics, and language design, along with integrating DSLs into existing architectures.
The syllabus was developed with regard to the syllabus of iSAQB 2023.1-version consists of the following six parts:
Part 1- Intro and Motivation
Part 2- Syntax
Part 3- Semantics
Part 4- Language Design
Part 5- Tools
Part 6- Examples
Certification & Exam
This iSAQB® DSL module counts toward preparation for the CPSA-A certification and, upon successful completion, awards 10 credit points in the technological competence area and 20 credit points in the methodical competence area. After the course, you receive a certificate of attendance; you can count the credit points toward admission to the CPSA-A exam.
For the CPSA-A exam, you need the CPSA-F certificate, at least three years of IT professional experience, a total of 70 credit points, and at least 10 credit points in each competence area. Certification then takes place via an exam task and an interview with iSAQB examiners. You can find more details in the official iSAQB information on the DSL module and the CPSA-A exam.
What You Will Achieve
After completing the training, participants will be able to:
Design Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) that efficiently model complex rules and processes.
Integrate DSLs into existing software architectures and leverage their potential for low-code approaches.
Develop the syntax and semantics of a DSL and evaluate its application areas.
Use tools and techniques such as parser generators, type systems, and IDE integrations to develop and optimize DSLs.
Improve the quality and maintainability of software through the strategic use of DSLs.
Create user-friendly DSLs that meet both technical and organizational requirements.
