Hello;
I know that Apple had decided last year to deprecate/stop
development of Web Objects.
Has there been any change in the status of Web Objects support?
When will it quit being distributed as part of XCode?
Has/or will Apple give the source code of WebObjects to the
community so it can continue to be developed?
If so, I would like to volunteer to assist with development
of WebObjects.
The other responders have replied to these points already.
I like the apple tools. I know WOLips and project WOnder exist for
eclipse but I do not like these tools much.
I used Apple Tools for a few years and switched to WOLips/Eclipse at
the start of this year. Recently I had to work on an old XCode
project and after 2 days, I was suicidal and I *had* to convert it to
WOLips .... it was just too slow and painful to work in XCode.... and
the pain is worse the bigger the project is. If you used both sets of
tools for 3 months, you would not say that, especially when
productivity and profit is at stake. The *majority* of Apple WO
developers use Eclipse/WOLips, not XCode .... and that's public
knowledge if you listen to certain podcasts.
WOnder is invaluable ..... it adds an absolute ton of additional
frameworks that save you immense amounts of programming, it fixes
many bugs and auomatically patches those replacement classes in at
application launch time plus it provides solutions to many of the
common shortcomings of the standard WO frameworks.... and these are
often enabled by just simply setting up a few properties in the
Properties file.
I have several products that I wish to use WebObjects for, but it
is difficult to proceed with these projects using WebObject when
it's future is in doubt.
I really like WebObjects, it's design makes it the most powerful
development package,
It is.... :-)
as well as the Apple design tools allow for fast application design.
They don't........ :-p
The learning curve is steep, but i you know java well, have a basic
knowledge of the basic design patterns (Head First Design Patterns),
study the Practical WebObjects book, etc. you will understand what is
going on in the WO frameworks in a short time
Have fun and don't overlook Eclipse/WOLips :-)
Don
