Hi there,

I really appreciate that. I'm new to open source as I've been a

I recently switched to the Mac platform and want to do more

it.
Hooray!! Reeled in another one... I was never good at real fishing.
So I've been investigating these technologies so I can really dive
into it.
Great. Keep reading and asking questions. Not everything will click
into place at once, but you'll keep adding onto what you know as time
goes on.
Here's a suggested learning path for WebObjects (other's might have
further suggestions).
I suggest firstly (if you haven't already) obtaining a thorough
understanding of the foundational concepts covered in Apple's online
tutorial(s). i.e.,
==== Getting Started with WebObjects ====
http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/
GS_WebObjects/index.html
==== BASICS/FUNDAMENTALS ( suggested logical order of reading ) ====
--> "Documentation" link from http://developer.apple.com/tools/
webobjects/index.html
+ WebObjects Overview [1]
+ Xcode 2.1 User Guide
+ Web Applications
+ WebObjects EOModeler User Guide
+ WebObjects Enterprise Objects Programming Guide
==== TOPICS OF INTEREST ====
+ Programming Topics: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/
LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_5/Topics/TopicsTOC.html
+ WebObjects XML Serialization Guide (optional) [2]
+ WebObjects Deployment Guide
==== APIs: also listed in the documentation section (whatever is
relevant) ====
+ WebObjects 5.3 Reference Update || WebObjects 5.2.4 API Reference
+ WebObjects Dynamic Elements Reference
+ WebObjects Extensions Reference (optional - good learning for
creating custom re-usable components)
==== Helpful 3rd party resources ====
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/
+ Developer:WebObjects
+ Developer:WebObjects:Deployment
==== Wikis ====
+ http://wodev.spearway.com
+ http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:WebObjects --> fairly
blank now but that may grow in usefulness (certainly has a good list
of topics listed for you to investigate if anything)
==== blogs ====
+ http://david.codeferous.com/index.php?cat=3
+ http://homepage.mac.com/kelleherk/iblog/
==== FOOTNOTES / PARALLEL READING ====

Other articles: http://rentzsch.com/webobjects/
[2] Stepwise: Web Publishing with WebObjects 5 and XSLT
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/2003-02-12.01.html
Again, others may have collected some other useful sites (at which
they'll hopefully chime in now).
Web Objects and PostgreSQL do tell a very compelling story and that
is the
only reason I've stuck with it thus far.
Yep.
I know the ends will justify the means :)
Sometime the means is just down right frustrating! But it has been my
experience that this is also the best way to learn!
Ditto.
with regards,
