Hi all,
I have been collecting info on Web Objects and Java, in preparation for jumping in and learning how to use them. I have three books, by Ravi Mendis, Josh Marker and the Wrox book. I also have a collection of links to things like Apple's WO docs and Sun's Java tutorials.
I think I have plenty of resources to learn the mechanics of how to make WO do whatever I want it to do. But I feel like I'm missing the view from a few steps back, one that tells me how to design my apps in a way that takes advantage of WO's strengths instead of struggling against them. I think I've seen this referred to as doing things in the "WO Way". I also haven't found a good description of what WO is/does that isn't drowning in marketing-speak. Although I know enough about what it does to know that I want to learn more, I am finding it difficult to describe to others because I don't fully understand it myself.
I would really appreciate it if those of you who are self-taught could share how you went about this - what resources did you find the most helpful, and were there any that steered you wrong? Was there a particular order of tasks that made for a smoother learning curve? Anything like that would be most helpful.
thanks,
janine
