DSL - "Do Something, Lazy!"

Domain Specific Language (DSL) is a pretty buzzword today and like most pretty buzzwords, it means many different things to different people. Ruby has been championed as a nice syntax for DSLs, but what does that mean? In this talk, I'll demonstrate two ways I've "made up" my own language. Using Ruby's nifty block mechanism and syntax, I'll show how I've simplified a data store for an iPad application and simplified administrating a remote server. By the end, you'll know how to make your own domain-specific-language-looking thing. Why? Because we're lazy in that productive kind of way!
