Well, my knowledge about QVT is very short.

Can you suggest font of studies about QVT?
For example, Page web, or books, or tutorials, where i should find something teaching: "How make transformation in QVT!", and, in this example, had a model (diagram of class, for example), which a code QVT do make a transformation model to model.

You understand me?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes. I understand you completely. You are studying. One of the things
that a good course will teach you is how to find information. It seems
you made zero effort to use Google. Read the QVT specification. Look at
the QVTo project.

Regards

Hi,

actually I tend to think that documentation and literature on QVT - both operational as well as declarative - is very, very sparse and hard to find.

Reading the QVT specification is, IMHO, not the way with the smoothest learning curve.

For german readers, fortunately, the books of Siegfried Nolte are available, but I never stumbled across comparable literature in english.

As well as the original author I would still be grateful for any links to literature - additional to the spec. Remembering the way I learned most about Java I think there is a significant need (and market) for books that could then be called "Thinking in QVT" or "Effective QVT".

Just my 2 Euro-Cents,

Uwe

Hi;

I personally think the QVT specification (specially the QVTo part) is one of the "friendlier" standards available (compare with UML, for instance). But I agree it is not so easy to learn...

Anyway, there is interesting information about QVTo available. In addition to the aforementioned presentation, there is an interesting tutorial available in "redpanda.nl/BEP_P.J.Barendrecht.pdf" (sorry, I can't post full links yet). It is basic, but it seems to be a good starting point (well, it is easier than the QVT spec). Finally, I made some posts about it in "www.levysiqueira.com.br/category/qvt/qvto/", including a basic QVTo tutorial using Eclipse - sorry for the lame advertisement Wink
