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.
Upcoming Sessions
1 sessionWhat 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 module awards 10 credit points in the technological competence area and 20 credit points in the methodical competence area toward the Advanced Level certificate.
After completing the training you receive a course certificate and the credit points count toward your eligibility for the full CPSA-A certification.
To be eligible for the CPSA-A final examination you must:
Already hold the CPSA-F (Foundation Level) certificate.
Have a minimum of three years of full-time IT professional experience, including participation in the design and development of at least two different IT systems.
Accumulate a total of at least 70 credit points across the three competence areas (technological, methodical, communicative). Each area must hold at least 10 credit points.
Once you meet those prerequisites and total the required points (including from the DSL module), you register for the CPSA-A certification exam (an assignment plus an oral exam by iSAQB-appointed examiners).
Upon successful completion of the exam, you receive the CPSA-A certificate, confirming your advanced competence in software architecture.
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.
