For those interested in WO Books, I just got the new Joshua Marker book
"WebObjects 5 for Mac OS X" yesterday. I already have the other books
(Ravi Mendis, WROX, Feiler, George Ruzek).
I must just say "Well done, Joshua Marker!".
I have not read it cover to cover, but I have scoured over it from
cover to cover since yesterday scanning thru some sections and reading
others in detail.
This is by far the BEST book for learning WebObjects 5.2 Development on
Mac OS X. The presentation is so crisp, clear and to the point ......
step by step easy to follow "how to do * " in the style of typical
Visual Guide books. There is no fluff or filler.... it's all "meat" and
so logically laid out and organized that this is a good reference book
aswell (like the O'Reilly Cookbooks).
I don't know how suitable it is for skilled and experienced WO
developers since I am not one (...yet ;-) ) ..... but for sure many
topics treated as "advanced" in the other books are better presented
simply and clearly in this book. All the screen shots are Mac OS X, so
Windows users may have different looking GUI and Windows specific stuff
is not covered .... however on the deployment side, Joshua does explain
step by step how to deploy WO 5.2 on Linux.
For example, take the topic of fetching raw rows. On pages 238 thru
240, he clearly presents the information with minimum words, clear code
examples and useful screenshots in four headings with step by step
instructions. The headings are
To fetch raw rows with EOModeler
To fetch raw rows programmatically
To access a raw row's attributes
To create an enterprise object from a raw row
...... I love this book!! (Just wanted to share with all those who have
struggled for so long with finding good "how to" documentation). I
bought it at PeachPit Press, but I think it is now on Amazon at the
best price ($17+)
Great job, Mr. Marker!
