The aim of this book

Xtext comes with some nice documentation; you can find such documentation in your Eclipse help system or online at http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html, where a PDF version of the whole documentation is available.

This book aims at being complementary to the official documentation, trying to give you enough information to start being productive in implementing DLSs with Xtext. This book will try to teach you some methodologies and best practices when using Xtext, filling some bits of information that are not present in the official documentation. Most chapters will have a tutorial nature and will provide you with enough information to make sure you understand what is going on. However, the official documentation should be kept at hand to learn more details about the mechanisms we will use throughout the book.
