WO allows you to develop object-oriented web applications quickly,
allowing you to bypass hand-coding much of the mundane boring
architecture stuff and provides a framework or inbuilt design pattern
that separates data, business logic and presentation layer ............
***IF you already have experience in HTML, Java and SQL enterprise
databases.***
So, if your database experience is limited to FileMaker Pro or even MS
Access, then go and download the free MySQL enterprise database from
www.mysql.com and get the Visual QuickStart Guide to MySQL and go
through that book first.
Next, if you are new to Java, then I recommend the Jacquie Barker book
"Beginning Java Objects: From Concept to Code" ...... a great beginner
book which teaches you the basics of OO design as well as basic Java
......... it seems that many "problems" are often inherent in the
design .... good OO design is so important "on paper" before you even
start tapping on the keyboard!
This is a good intro if you are already an experienced programmer in
other lauguages:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/JavaForWODev/
JavaForWODev.pdf
After that, study Apple's book:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Web_Applications/
Web_Applications.pdf
Then study Apple's book:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/UsingEOModeler/
UsingEOModeler.pdf
The development process (simplified outline) then would be something
like this:
1) design your class model
2) create class model it in EOModeler,
3) auto generate the database structure in MySQL using EOModeler
4) then create your WO project, adding the EOmodel
5) design your web pages in WO Builder
6) test your app
7) deploy it.
I hope this gives you an overview of what lies ahead. Depending on your
experience, it may require some serious crunch learning effort over the
next few weeks or months..... but once past that first project, you
will have gained useful skills :-)

Hello:
I am new to WebObjects. I would like to design a website that would
have as part of its content a message board and a searchable database.
Users should be able to download from or upload to the database. My
questions are (1) can I design such a site using the WebObjects
application; (2) Does WebObjects generate the html code or do I have
to write it; (3) How do I build the database into the site (does
WebObjects do this or can I use an app such as Filemaker Pro build the
database and then integrate it into the site)?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Ralph
