Tim Weilkiens list of crowd ranked most popular tools. Helpful to see what is out there and how practitioners rank them.

Thomas Killian is an active contributor on the Enterprise Architect Forums and I have found his comments and books helpful to get up and going quickly. If you are using EA, these books are helpful.

Working since mid 1970 in the IT industry. Having gone through development and management in almost all industries (international but based in Germany). Currently focused on UML based projects (Embedded Systems/SysML, SOA, BPM). Using (and dissecting) EA since 2003 (version 3.5) until today (version 12.0).

A good quick reference for UML if you are looking for examples, comparing and contrasting aspects of UML, and references to the specification.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard visual modeling language to document business processes and software architecture using several types of diagrams - use case diagrams, class, package, component, composite structure diagrams, deployments, activities, interactions and profiles. The site provides graphical notation reference and examples of all types of UML diagrams.

Of all the books I reviewed I found the section on MOF of this book most helpful.
