16. Further Reading
Finally I would like to add a few links where you will get further help.
16.1 Feedback
Any questions you have are important. So you should ask them. Feedback is important for you, me and of course all the other readers. So you are encouraged to send these to one of the below links:
- http://leanpub.com/InsideEA
- The page where you bought the book has a small discussion forum enabled. Here you can also post.
- thomas.kilian@me.com
- You can mail me directly if you have specific questions. Or maybe you have information regarding the ⁈ markers.
16.2 Scripting Enterprise Architect
I have not touched scripting much in this book. Basically because it would simply break the scope of this book. However, you might be interested in EA’s automation interface. My book Scripting Enterprise Architect which is available at http://leanpub.com/ScriptingEA will introduce you in that matter. Even if you are already firm with the API its references and a couple of not well known hints will make this a valuable guide for you.
16.3 Sparx Forum
Probably not necessary to name this source, but anyway:
When you post your questions here you should select the right forum and only post once. Getting help here is most likely the fastest lane you can find. I also post regularly.
16.4 Sparx Community
A not so well known source as Sparx itself does not link this on its forum pages:
Here you will find a variety of articles and resources around EA.
16.5 SQL in General
Of course: Google is your friend. But sometimes it’s nice to have a direct link:
This is nice place to get a quick reference to most of SQL. This info is available in different languages if you enter via the main site.
is a bit more responsive and condensed.
I once downloaded a compact HTML page with all information in it, but that site has ceased. So to get something similar see my remark above…
16.6 Geert Bellekens
Geert has become a kind of institution at Sparx’ forum. He is a regular poster. But beyond that he also has an excellent blog dealing with UML in general and Enterprise Architect in particular. Check it out:
You’ll also find entries dedicated to SQL usage in EA
with some more advanced SQL stuff.
