Book Excerpt: Code Generation in Action

Book Excerpt: Code Generation in Action

ode generation abstracts the design of the code so that multiple outputs can be created from a single model of the application functionality, which means development teams can focus on higher-level design work and strategic problems, while still meeting goals for maintaining production applications. This book covers techniques that range from simple code processors that handle common coding problems to more elaborate and complex generators that maintain entire application tiers.

Although code generation is an engineering technique it also has a large impact on the engineering team and management. The book discusses the non-technical justifications for code generation in depth, and offers practical advice for making code generation succeed in any organization.
