I guess my questions are these: how many people do their WO development
without using WOBuilder at all? Can people recommend any tools or
strategies that they find handy in doing this?

No one on our team of 10+ developers uses it. Mostly for the same reasons you have
stated. My suggestion would be to learn all of the bindings / bookmark the page
at developer.apple.com that lists them out.


I prefer using Emacs. I've heard that BBEdit is pretty slick, if you like GUI tools.




I'm also a little worried, to say the least, about some of the
sky-is-falling, WebObjects-is-dying, flee-while-you-still-can comments I
see on the list. Without reopening any cans of worms, is this issue
something I am going to have to carefully consider before committing to
a purchase of WO, or just a little scaremongering/overreaction?



Read the list archives. Happens once a year @ WWDC time.

WebObjects (as an environment, I'm not referring to the development
tools) would appear, upon cursory inspection, to kick ass. It would be a
real shame to lose this one to Apple marketing apathy.



It's not going anywhere. It does kick ass.


Lastly, I really love the idea of the WO advocacy/info site that is
currently being discussed on this list. I am keen to help out in any way
I can with this, so I'll keep an eye on the relevant threads and put in
my 2c when the chance arises.



I would suggest writing something about your learning experience. If you found
doing some particular thing hard or challenging or interesting, there is probably
someone else facing the same challenge that would read it.



Good luck. :) _______________________________________________ webobjects-dev mailing list | email@hidden Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/webobjects-dev Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
