Hi Jeremy,

Understanding Object Oriented Programming will make or break your experience with WebObjects. I can't emphasize enough how important it is. There's quite a good book that I recommend to developers who are new to OOP called "Beginning Java Objects."

Although a strong grasp of design patterns will help a lot with understanding the architectural philosophy behind WebObjects--as well as assisting with your own code design--you may find it more helpful to begin with a thorough primer on OOP before delving into the Gang of Four or similar design patterns books.

Some of the WebObjects documentation is very good, particularly the Enterprise Objects book. I have also found several of the WebObjects books available from third parties are also informative, if sometimes a bit inconsistent.

WebObjects training courses are offered both by Apple and some other companies as was mentioned by Cliff Tuel earlier this week on the list. If you can afford the training, they're invaluable.

Best of luck,

Colin

I have some basic C/C+ training that I've taken, albeit a few years old. I'm very interesting in WO development/deployment. I have some WO books, but I know little about Java, so it's somewhat useless to me so far. What kind of training/education/reading material would you recommend? Most of my peers have recommended basic/advanced Java books andd classes, some Cocoa and Obj-C, XML, and some DB basics. One person recommended "Design Patterns", but I haven't got anything else solid. So if my goal is to be a WO master, where do I begin?
