Eclipse Series books

p.gonzales

<p>The two eclipse series books 'Integrating and extending Birt 3rd edition' and 'Birt a Field Guide' Mention newsgroups and mailing lists, are those still active? Are these books a good place to start with Birt after the initial setup? I want to get started making dynamic reports. For example reports that have different amounts of rows and columns in a excel spreadsheet. Would you recommend starting with these books?</p>

<p>The Eclipse BIRT Newsgroup can be found on the eclipse.org/birt site under community.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
