General Board / Re: A critic/proposal: philosophy of EA

You can find it in EA homepage too, but that's not the problem. The pdf is more than one year old (02-18-2002) so it might be not so useful... but I think that it's the only thing I can take... What do you think, Geoffrey??? ;-)

General Board / A critic/proposal: philosophy of EA

« on: May 21, 2003, 01:38:01 am »

Hi all,
I'm an italian software engineer so (I think...) I know how to make a software project, use UML, etc etc. I consider EA a great (very great) product, but I've got problems understanding what is the "philosophy" of EA. I mean the way to work with it, why it's divided in Use Case View, Dynamic View, ... or how you can start from your software plan on paper and "translate" it in EA. I've found Steve's tutorial pdf "Application Development with EA" but it's 100 pages long! Maybe a section in EA help file would be better. What do you think? Maybe I'm wrong considering me as an engineer ? ;-)

Thanks for answers! I've read Fowler's book...more than once... but my problem is more technical, within EA. The Zicom course is not free I think...

Thanks again for answers

General Board / Help: how to start with EA?

« on: October 13, 2003, 06:53:56 am »

Hi all,
(I think) I know how to develop a project from req. analysis, design, implementation... but when I open Enterprise Architect and try to "trasport" my project documents in it, well, I'm a bit confused. Yes, EA is flexible, so flexible that I cannot find a starting point! Is there an example, a document, with a new project to follow? The online help tells nothing about "procedures" in EA...

Thanks for help, I hope you've understood me... ;-)

Bye
David
