1) No major developments/announcements in WO
2) New framework called Core Data (session description below)

4) Bill Bumgarner's been there a year
Core Data: This session provides an overview of the new Core Data
framework in Cocoa. It will focus on the new functionality provided
for managing and persisting model objects, which includes automatic
undo/redo, input validation, and saving to various types of
"persistent stores" (SQL and XML).
Ok, thanks for that.
But let's run with this a bit. SQLite is the (only?) database for Core
Data. It will be probably be a part of Mac OS X client (10.4+). It
could provide a nice lite way to persist objects (lots of objects) for
desktop applications (usually on the same machine?).
But that's probably nothing like what most people (guessing here)
wanted when they asked for Cocoa/EOF? I assumed they (we) wanted to be
able to do Cocoa desktop applications that connected to corporate SQL
databases.
Cocoa two-tier enterprise applications (for the intranet) - maybe to go
with a WebObjects n-tier Web applications (for the extranet). Of
course, they could use Java Client, but it's not the same as Cocoa,
particularly for a predominantly Mac business.
Cheers,
Ashley.
