Professor Terence Parr announces the ANTLR 3.2 release that includes the new tree pattern matching facility and numerous bug fixes.

The annual trip to Peru was a great success. Jim Cortez and David Rice completely retooled the computer lab at Collegio Miguel Pro and dramatically increased the internet experience of the students. Lolly Chinn created and taught tutorials, in spanish , and forged amazing friendships with nearly every student at the school-- I have never seen such smiles! And through the persistence and leadership of alums Teresa Win and Alberto Yepez, a major push was made to  help teachers integrate technology into the classroom. Two teachers won laptops as part of a contest, five have newly developed teaching units that integrate technology, and terms like Sitios de Google, and computacion de la nube are the new buzz.

The new Language Design Patterns is now available in beta! Learn to build configuration file readers, data readers, model-driven code generators, source-to-source translators, source analyzers, and interpreters. You don't need a background in computer science--ANTLR creator Terence Parr demystifies language implementation by breaking it down into the most common design patterns. Pattern by pattern, you'll learn the key skills you need to implement your own computer languages.
