WebObjects Developer's Guide

By Ravi Mendis

WebObjects is an object-oriented Web application server that is used to generate scalable Web and Java applications from reusable templates. A product of Apple Computer, WebObjects' client list includes such Fortune 500 companies as Disney, Adobe, and the BBC. The product's support for Java 2 Enterprise Edition and its competitive pricing are expected to expand WebObjects' growing position in the market for Web application servers, a market that is expected to grow by more than $2 billion in revenue by 2002 (Forrester Research). WebObjects Developer's Guide is a unique, step-by-step guide for intermediate- to advanced-level developers. It uses a hands-on instructional approach to make the sophisticated and sometimes complex WebObjects technology accessible to developers. The book explains WebObjects concepts and paradigms, and it illustrates the art of modeling applications with the Enterprise Object Framework. The author provides practical insight into WebObjects development based upon his extensive experience as a consultant for major international corporations.

This is the book I've been waiting for!

Finally a WebObjects book that shows you how to take advantage of the cool features of WebObjects like key-value coding, SVG, WebServices, and developing applications using components. This book has very clear and easy to follow examples that you can immediately use in real world applications. For example I was able to use the Webservices code in the chapter on SOAP and WebObjects to build a small application at work that takes advantage of a Webservice created in ColdFusion by a co-worker. I have all of the currently shipping WebObjects books and I can say without a doubt that this one is the best! If you have a good understanding of OO programming you should be able to use the hands on examples from this book to develop WebObjects applications. If you are a Mac Programmer this book and Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegas are two books you'll want to read.
