USL for Fun and Profit!
From its beginnings at MIT Draper Lab., USL, and its companion Integrated Development Environment, 001, has evolved to be a formidable combination of the best of Object and Functional programming, and continues to be the way to build error free systems (of systems) in a robust and scalable way. This presentation will go over some USL basics, and demonstrate the technology in use to build the kind of application for which one might use Ruby on Rails, and show how much simpler it is, not only conceptually, but to build, extend, and maintain systems defined and built with USL/001. The speaker will also showcase his Universal Schema Tool that leverages the power of USL and 001 to make an easy to use XML editor that round trips both XML and RDBMS Schemas from USL Type Maps. USL is based on a simple mathematical framework that is remarkably easy to understand and use, yet represents, for many people, a whole new paradigm for the entire development cycle. Anyone involved in systems development, from embedded microprocessors to large-scale distributed applications, will find this talk interesting and valuable.
