How Should I Use This Book?
You will probably want to read or skim the Chapter 1, "Introduction" first to get a
basic understanding of the DEFINITY system. Chapter 2, "Industry Applications "
is a good place to go next, because it discusses in general terms specific
applications that may help you apply DEFINITY ECS creatively. It probably does
not describe your industry or situation exactly, but scan ning several of the
examples may help you generate ideas about similar solutio ns you might apply.
Read the more in-depth discussions of general applications in Chapter s 3
through 14 selectively, focusing on the solu tions that suit your circumstances.
Appendix A lists all DEFINITY features, and includes a sh ort description of each.
These feature descriptions may help you understand specific f eatures as well as
the scope of DEFINITY ECS’s capabilities. The remainder of the book is
composed of reference material.
