Also take a look at the Direct to Web docs

I would recommend against that unless you're absolutely sure that all you will ever do is create CRUD apps. Although powerful technology, D2W is only really fully comprehensible in the context of an understanding of basic WO. I would suggest concentrating on the fundamentals for a while before getting distracted by the rules > engine.

I found it interesting that the Java Client docs recommend in no uncertain terms starting all projects with D2J, while the Web Applications docs recommend starting with an honest to God web application, and using D2W only if your application calls for it.


I do not know the system well enough to have an informed opinion, but we are pretty impressed with what D2W has delivered thus far. Given that the app is a query - summary - detail app at heart, D2W is tailor made for it.

Is it true that you have a WO book coming out?
