Workshop: Build Your Own Syntax Checker Extension for VS Code and Beyond!

Workshop: Build Your Own Syntax Checker Extension for VS Code and Beyond!

Are you interested in creating custom syntax-checking extensions for VS Code or other popular code editors? Join us for an in-depth, hands-on workshop that will guide you through each step of building a powerful language extension for any programming language!

🔍 What You'll Learn:

In this workshop, I'll share the method I discovered for creating syntax-checking extensions across various code editors. You'll learn how to implement a Language Server to power your extension's features, with guidance on the following key concepts:
• Language Server Protocol (LSP): Discover how the LSP standard allows your extension to communicate seamlessly with editors, enabling intelligent syntax checking and language-specific features.
• Language Grammars: Learn how to define the syntax of any programming language, empowering your extension to recognize and analyze custom language patterns.
• Building Extensions in TypeScript: Get hands-on experience coding a language extension for VS Code in TypeScript.
• Creating a Language Server in Java: I'll demonstrate how to build the backend language server in Java, using the lsp4j library from Eclipse for reliable language processing.
• Lexers and Parsers with ANTLR4: Discover how ANTLR4 (a powerful parser generator) allows you to create custom lexers and parsers in Java, handling even the most complex language syntax rules.

👩‍💻 Who Should Attend:

This workshop is ideal for developers, language enthusiasts, and anyone curious about editor extensions, syntax checking, or language processing. Prior experience with TypeScript and Java is helpful but not required!
