Hi Jeremy,
Understanding Object Oriented Programming will make or break your
experience with WebObjects. I can't emphasize enough how important it
is. There's quite a good book that I recommend to developers who are
new to OOP called "Beginning Java Objects."
Although a strong grasp of design patterns will help a lot with
understanding the architectural philosophy behind WebObjects--as well
as assisting with your own code design--you may find it more helpful to
begin with a thorough primer on OOP before delving into the Gang of
Four or similar design patterns books.
Some of the WebObjects documentation is very good, particularly the
Enterprise Objects book. I have also found several of the WebObjects
books available from third parties are also informative, if sometimes a
bit inconsistent.
WebObjects training courses are offered both by Apple and some other
companies as was mentioned by Cliff Tuel earlier this week on the list.
If you can afford the training, they're invaluable.
Best of luck,
Colin

I have some basic C/C+ training that I've taken, albeit a few years
old. I'm very interesting in WO development/deployment. I have some WO
books, but I know little about Java, so it's somewhat useless to me so
far. What kind of training/education/reading material would you
recommend? Most of my peers have recommended basic/advanced Java books
andd classes, some Cocoa and Obj-C, XML, and some DB basics. One
person recommended "Design Patterns", but I haven't got anything else
solid. So if my goal is to be a WO master, where do I begin?
