Title: e-book about EA's API available
Post by: qwerty on June 15, 2012, 04:33:07 am
I have just published a new e-book about EA's API at http://leanpub.com/ScriptingEA

It starts with a help yourself section so beginners are introduced into the basics. Quite some "bits and pieces" summarize inside information which is not obvious. A final cross reference from GUI to API (not yet complete) ends it up.

Although this is "under construction" I think the current state is worth while to be published. I'm planing to complete it over the next one or two months. Next chapters to be completed: final cross reference; object creation/manipulation.

Hope you enjoy it.

A new major release has just been published. The book has now about 100 A4 pages.

For the beginner it has a step by step explanation of the API.

For the advanced user it contains a lot of details not to be found in the official help.

The book has a cross reference which allows you to find the right API commands from many GUI window elements and vice versa.

Keep in mind that although the book is already in a state of completion, I'm still working on it to add even more value.

Hi,

it's worth reading it. My suggestion is to also read the e-book InsideEA. Some advanced features are only to accomplish by using SQL.


Enjoy reading and trying it,

Helmut

I have just published a new release which adds extended creation of scenarios/alternates and connectors between attributes. Readers were not mailed this time but of course they can download the free update as usual.

The book now contains more than 100 A4 pages and has reached an "almost ready" state. Of course I will continue adding stuff over time.

Is there any reason the the rebate does not work any more?

There was a time limit I was not aware of. I have extended that and it should work now.
