EA Book?

[Dextor]

Hi,

I'm having real trouble learning EA. I've looked all over and cannot find an EA book. Obviously there's the online help etc BUT what I really want is a book (I prefer books) that takes me through a C# project (I'm a VS C# developer) and makes it easy for me to see exactly what EA can do for me as a developer (no disrespect intended!) and how to regognise when and why each diagram should be used. Does such a book exist?

Maybe there are EA courses somewhere (I'm UK based)?

Thanks

Rob

Check out www.iconixsw.com.  I particularly recommend their book 'Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML'.  Its not strictly an EA user guide, but it references EA a lot and will show you have to go all the way from requirements to code using EA.

They also offer CD-ROM tutorials and on-site training.

Yes this is an excellent book.
Another in that series is: Agile Development with ICONIX process.

Sadly the CD-ROM training is severely outdated. The CD pub date is 2004.

I am in the midst of trying to start up a req. engineering wiki with the goal of starting an open-source add-in project for EA. I would be glad to share some of my stereotypes and profiles I use to jump start my modeling. If you’re interested send me a post.

Yes you're right on the CD-ROMs, in fact on second thought I wouldn't recommend those.  But the book is great.
