What do you have to do to qualify for this book?
I'm using WSAD and I explored some EMF based modelling (the Omondo plugin). I am very interested in the other possibilities of EMF
Kind Regards,
Jeroen

Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to what that EMF *is*. I'm a pretty heavy Eclipse user, but I have to admit being confused about this term. Is it a way to write applications "the Eclipse way", or is it a way to model applications? Or is it a way to reverse engineer class structures into graphs?
Maybe it's strange, or just pathetic, but I flipped through a copy of _EMF_ the other day at the bookstore and completely didn't "get" what the point of the book was.
Thanks for the clarity.

What is so special about this book? It is probably just a disguised commercial ad.

Hi Josh, I just posted a quick intro under the "What is EMF?" thread. Please have a look and if you have any questions feel free to ask away.
Frank.

Hi,
Absolutely ... the book is a disguised ad for the EMF framework. But since EMF, like the rest of Eclipse, is free ... we don't stand to make a lot of money from it
