Introduction to Microsoft "Oslo"

When: Thursday December 4th, 2008, 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Where: Microsoft Office - Columbus (Address Below)

"Oslo” is the codename for Microsoft’s forthcoming modeling platform. Modeling is used across a wide range of domains and allows more people to participate in application design and allows developers to write applications at a much higher level of abstraction.

“Oslo” consists of:

• A tool that helps people define and interact with models in a rich and visual manner
• A language that helps people create and use textual domain-specific languages and data models
• A relational repository that makes models available to both tools and platform components

In this presentation, Monish will present an overview of "Oslo", its tools, and some demos to introduce you to this new modeling platform.
