Hi Karl (and List Members),
Thanks for that update - I am sure many more people who can't attend
WWDC will be pleased that some information is trickling through - even
if it is public information only.

CoreData was announced and is essentially a light-weight version of
Cocoa EOF.
Yes, good for desktop apps.
The neat thing is that we now have class modelling in Xcode and
EOF-style relationship editing. Every indication is that the WO team
will migrate the tools to Xcode, replacing EOModeller with Xcode.
That sound great, for the MacOSX-based WO developers. What about
Windows developers? How difficult can it be to rewrite EOF in Java?
Didn't the good folk(s) of Cayenne do just that?
The other they mentioned at the sessions late today was that they are
acutely aware of the need to rewrite WO Builder and to accept that
this will happen.
Eek, "accept that this will happen"!? I was hoping that it would have
already happened, or at least be well under way. This sounds like they
haven't even started.
The iTunes music store leverage DTW and Project Wonder...it is
actually largely a DTW app even for the rendering of the store itself.
Yes, that is good for WO and DTW.
The guys from WOProject and WOLips along with Max from Wonder gave
presentations too.
That's even better - GO WoProject! GO WOLips! GO Project WONDER!
Overall, WO remains a critical technology to Apple. They use it for
everything. The problem is that it isnt really that sexy to talk
about and isn't this years big thing.....they are working on it
though.
WWDC is a developer's conference, surely WO is still "sexy" for
developers, especially all the "new" things they are adding and doing
with it ...?
Thanks again Karl.
Cheers,
Ashley.
