Abstract

A didactial approch for teaching model-driven development is proposed in this paper. The main idea is to focus on conveying underlying concepts rather than managing a concrete tool. This objective shall be reached by the development of a simple generator. For this reason the whole process from graphical modeling to the code generation proper is traversed twice, the first time from back to front to introduce the main concepts of a generator engine and in a second pass starting from the beginning to extend the generator with additional functionality. The lecture will then be completed by transferring the knowledge learnt to a concrete generator tool within the framework of a simple exercise and by a presentation.
