MGrammar is part of the Oslo SDK and allows the definition of grammar files that can be used to thus define textual domain specific languages. For example, you can write a mgrammar file to understand musical notes in a given format (which is also one of the example that is present in MSDN). I wanted to see how a typical mgrammar file might look like

The first thing that I started understanding about was Oslo. Oslo is a platform for model driven applications. There are a host of sessions around Olso and a web site at MSDN dedicated for the same: http://msdn.microsoft.com/hi-in/oslo/default(en-us).aspx . From here, you can download the Oslo SDK.

At first sight, it looked similar to SilverLight (which I'm also experimenting with), but I'm yet to dig deeper into both of these. I wrote my first JavaFX script from Eclipse. I did have some teething issues to get it to run in Eclipse. For one, I read a blog
