I was manually looking for #OCL #courses (via a classical Google search, yes, some of us still do it from time to time) to complement the info we got from our hashtag#teaching #ocl online form ⬇️

📋modeling-languages.com/teachin You still have the time to fill it! ✍️

And my overall impression is that:

❌ Very few institutions teach OCL.
❌ Even worse, I feel there are less and less. Indeed, when searching online, I get quite a lot of old results from courses that were offered at some point (many around 15-20 years ago) but have since then disappeared (I guess replaced by, among others, sexier AI related topics).
❌ The tooling situation is one of the key factors (as reported also in the comments of the post linked above).
✅ I'm hoping that our online OCL tool (see github.com/BESSER-PEARL/B-OCL-, led by Fitash Ul Haq, PhD and now part of our #web #modeling #editor editor.besser-pearl.org/ ) and free #tutorials can be useful if any of you wants to give OCL a second chance.

Because if not OCL, then what? 🤔

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still around. I'm visiting some family for a couple of months. Had a rough time getting here, but that's all situated now. I'm not going to be doing anything with minis or hobby stuff till July because of it, though.

Please keep tagging @nerdlings for your nerdy hobby things, or @warhammercommunity to share your Warhams.

I'll be here lurking until I get back to my desk in July.
