Eclipse, according to surveys of the Evans Data Survey, is the most frequently used development environment. With expanding pervasiveness also the need for well trained developers grows. This is the starting point of the world-wide experts network of the Eclipse Training Alliance. The alliance concentrates the Eclipse know-how of professional developers and guarantees first-hand knowledge over a wide spectrum of themes.

Model-Driven Development with Eclipse Modeling

Model driven development is a style of software development where
models play the role of source code. Domain specific languages are created,
based on which models can be defined that are formal enough for tool-
based processing, such as code generation and interpretation. The Eclipse
Modeling project provides a number of tools that enable for model driven
development. This training is an introduction to a subset of those tools.
This subset has proven its utility over the last couple of years.
