Endevor Eclipse Usage PPT To Share?

[John Dueckman]

I'm wondering if anyone has created a simple Endevor Eclipse User Introduction kind of Powerpoint they would be willing to share. It certainly would save me the time of gleaning through the manuals and would be highly appreciated! :) 

I'm looking for something one would use to introduce the interface, associating projects. views. perspectives.... not necessarily "how-to" but more "this is what it looks like when you push these buttons in this order". 

Anyone?

Perhaps CA Broadcom could provide a new YouTube video for us​. The old one is a bit out of date and focuses on initial set-up

Hi Emlyn,

you are right. Video is just covering initial set-up.
Team is working on short (2-5 minutes) to cover use and functionality of eclipse plugin. From your point (and also others Endevor folks) of view, what is most imported area we should focus first? (you can share your priority lists)

regards,

Hi Dejan,
1. Edit an existing element​, move it to the next stage, move it to the next environment, create a package to move to the next stage.
2. Create a new element
3. Add/update an element from a local directory
4. Hints and tips, settings etc.

I think the issue with agile development and this type of interface is the speed in which it changes.

As an end user of products we don't expect or even want instruction guides any more. It's all just supposed to be intuitive. I personally struggle to use the GUI interface for Endevor and have a set of crib notes. I can't really share @John Dueckman as it's site/me specific and a little embarrassing in places !

I agree Steve that creating traditional guides seems to be a thing of the past as with every iteration of a modern tool so many changes are implemented that it might look nothing like the previous iteration. I use the plugin myself and after an initial hump I now find it quite intuitive. I guess there's  probably a couple of parts to play, if users have used an eclipse based IDE before and if they have a good understanding of Endevor.

The plugin currently does current have a 'help' section that can be accessed in Eclipse (and I often forget exists!) that details the functionality of the tool which should be the first point of call for any developer looking how to do something. That said the plugin does not visualise Endevor very well, so you still need an good understanding of your sites implementation of Endevor. A real enhancement would be a visualisation of the lifecycle.

Hi,
I uploaded a .PPT demonstrating MY usage of the plug-in.

I claim NO RESPONSIBILITY for it.

John,

Would you appreciate more to have Webex "training" (1 or several) instead of slides? where we will cover Endevor eclipse plugin from installation/setup?

[John Dueckman]

Actually a series of Webex recordings AND a user-introductory series of slides would be useful... :)
