Product Description

WebObjects 5 is the powerful new release of Apple's award-winning application server, built from the ground up in Java. This allows WebObjects to run on virtually any server making it easily accessible to millions of Java programmers. WebObjects also integrates with other Java-based solutions such as EJB containers, servlets, ORBs, and web services.

The combination of a Java runtime with advanced native tools for Mac OS X and Windows 2000 makes WebObjects an obvious environment for customers needing rapid development of flexible, scalable web applications.

This book provides a comprehensive roadmap to application development and serving with WebObjects by taking you step-by-step through a careful balance of examples and explanations of theory. When you are finished, you will be able to create dynamic applications that allow users to find, view, and modify data from back-end databases, accessible in any browser.

Complete guide to installing and using WebObjects 5.0
Multi-platform approach, for WebObjects running on either Mac OS X or Windows 2000
Comprehensive tour of WebObject's application development tools

The code examples in this book didn't work.
There was no consistent flow.
Too many authors and no editor or proofreader.
Years of Java experience didn't help in understanding this book, when examples don't work, it's impossible to guess is it the framework that is failing or poor writing?
For a beginner, I highly recommend Joshua Marker's book. WebObjects is little known and used, I almost gave up exploring it until I saw on a discussion board to pick up other Webobjects books.
This book is no longer in print, and it's no wonder why!!!!!
Good stepping stone to WO - Reviewed on 2006-01-10

I have read many of the WO books out there and this is not the best book to start with but after a little time working with WO this book can help you to the next level. Some other reveiws mention the poor editing, but if you know a little about programing , you can make sense out of the books examples. It seems like all the other WO books are for beginners, this book is the next step. After you have read this book and worked with WO a bit more, you should check out "Practical WebObjects" - Charles Hill, Sacha Mallias, another great book.

The sample code used in this book doesn't compile with xcode or older versions of webobjects/project builder. Searches on the web for errata with good versions of the code were not found. Without working sample code, its impossible to follow along and make modifications to test out changes and experiment. This is not a version issue as I made a lot of effort to get older versions of WebObjects pre-Xcode to compile with as well as trying with Xcode. Its sad the authors do not care enough about paying customers to have not tested all the code before releasing it.
Some of the material in the book is helpful - but for a beginner is often not detailed enough or is confusing. I've had better luck with the other webobjects books on Amazon.

I bought this book to teach myself WO from the gound up. It has been extremely helpful and I highly recommend it if you're attempting to do the same. That being said, the book is quite difficult to learn from. This book teaches from fairly narrow examples and leaves it up to the reader to extrapolate the general concepts.
