Hello, I was not willing to tell so soon, but since I am going to make a presentation of this at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention: XTech 2001: Cutting Edge XML, and the Early Bird price deadline is about to end for those that may want to attend, I am announcing a special application that I have been developing completely written in PHP. For the last 2 years I have been developing a XML based Meta-Language compiler named MetaL. It would take a long message to describe what it can do and what are its advantages. To summarize, basically it lets you use XML as source code of completely redefinable programming language. The compiler that I developed in PHP is a modular application that translates XML commands into code of traditional programming languages like PHP, but may be in anything else. This is not a replacement for traditional languages, but rather a powerful development tool for general improvement of software development methods. Many PHP users already know something about this because I announced in the PHP Classes site newsletter, but for those that are not yet aware, the abstract for the presentation at O'Reilly Open Source Convention is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/metal-dev/files/MetaL-Introduction.txt The HTML presentation slides are here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/metal-dev/files/metal.tar.gz or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/metal-dev/files/metal.zip A 2-up printable version of the slides is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/metal-dev/files/metal.pdf The description of my talk on MetaL at the convention is here: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2001/view/e_sess/1874 The Early bird price for those that would like to attend to the whole connvetion may be $400 off if you register before July 2.
