Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are programming languages that express unique features of programs within a specific problem domain, in contrast to general-purpose languages (GPLs). Usually, they are small and declarative rather than imperative, or they can be graphical or textual. Languages such as SQL, TEX, and Unix shell are examples of DSLs. By using DSLs, software applications can be developed in a way that’s faster and safer. DSL constructs abstract the core concepts of a domain, enabling developers without advanced programming skills to write more concise, high-level programs.
In this course, the programmers will learn how to define a DSL’s formal syntax and operational semantics. In addition, programmers will learn about language implementation approaches such as compiler-based and interpreter-based in this course.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
