Hola David,

Is WebObjects only for web apps, or can one develop a cocoa (Mac) or C/C++ (Windows) client for a WebObjects engine or something like that? I may not even have the terminology right for that question, but if anyone can guess what I'm trying to say and give me ideas, I'm all ears.

WO have an unsupported tech tu mix the best of both worlds: EOF and Cocoa. But it is not for beginners (sorry!). A midle point may be JavaClient apps, but neither this is for beginners. In fact, WO is not for beginners (sorry again!)...


You better start with a "simpler" tool: Cocoa. Choose any language (I prefere ObjC) and keep your self tight to it.


Also, in pursuing Cocoa for desktop app development, I understand that Objective-C is the most popular method, but Java is still viable, and indeed someone from the cocoa list suggested that Java is easier to learn than C if learning from scratch. Can anyone on this list tell me what the pros and cons of using Java instead of Obj-C for Cocoa development, and is there any benefit in doing that if I intend to develop multi user network apps in WebObjects.

I realy do not think that Java is easer than ObjC... Java is a "hard type" language while ObjC is not; you can let lots of decisions to the run-time insteed of the compiler... in short: you do not nead to cast every single instance variable you use, you simply say that it is an object.
