The first volume of the series is both a simple introduction to the JetBrains MPS language workbench and a complete reference manual. This book explains the MPS programming paradigm and gradually introduces the reader to the many features of the MPS platform. The "MPS Language Workbench" may yet be the simplest way to discover MPS and the powerful new approach to programming that this tool offers. The Meta Programming System (MPS) is a new kind of tool called a Language Workbench that makes it easier and more fun to write programs. With traditional programming, it is common to choose one programming language to solve a problem and being limited by this choice. When working with MPS you can use and combine different languages to solve a problem. You can also create simple languages (e.g., Domain Specific Languages) or extend existing ones when the languages available do not exactly meet the evolving needs of the problem at hand. The languages that you create with MPS will integrate nicely with languages developed by others. MPS is open-source and can be obtained from http: //jetbrains.com/mps. This second edition describes MPS version 3.2.

This black and white edition of the MPS Language Workbench combines Volumes I and II into a single book. The first volume serves as both an introduction and a complete reference manual for the JetBrains MPS language workbench. It explains the MPS programming paradigm and gradually introduces the platform's many features, making it an accessible way to explore MPS and its innovative approach to programming. The second volume focuses on customizing the JetBrains Meta-Programming System (MPS) platform to better suit your language needs. It builds on the first volume by discussing advanced features and includes a detailed example demonstrating the design and implementation of a custom web aspect. This example showcases how MPS's advanced capabilities allow for the creation of languages that can generate complete applications. MPS is a unique tool known as a language workbench, which simplifies and enhances the programming experience. Unlike traditional programming, where one language is typically used, MPS enables the combination of different languages to address problems. Users can create simple languages, such as Domain Specific Languages, or extend existing ones to meet evolving needs. The languages developed with MPS integrate seamlessly with those created by others. MPS is open-source and available at http://jetbrains.com/mps.
