This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive introduction to MDG Technologies and how they can be used to extend and customize Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.

MDG Technologies are a powerful feature of Enterprise Architect that allow you to define your own modeling notations, meta-models, and code generation templates. With MDG Technologies, you can tailor Enterprise Architect to your specific modeling needs, making it a more effective and efficient tool for your organization.

In this course, we will start by introducing the concept of MDG Technologies and explaining why they are useful. We will then guide you through the process of creating your own MDG Technology, step-by-step. You will learn how to define your own modeling notations, including custom diagrams and symbols. We will also show you how to extend the meta-model of Enterprise Architect to support your specific modeling needs.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid knowledge about MDG Technologies an how to create deploy and use them.
