All,
I apologize for yet another newbie question, but...
I'm an experienced Java/J2EE developer with some ancient NeXTStep programming (1992) and I (finally) just recently purchased a 17" PowerBook (very nice) and WebObjects 5.2.4. (Then found out I could download 5.3 and Apple will not take back the opened software.) I also got and read a couple of WO books. (In particular I thought "WebObjects 5 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickPro Guide" was pretty good.) I think I have my mind around web apps and Direct to Web apps (just need some experience with them), but I have a couple of gaps that I was hoping that this list could help me with:
1) The books and online material primarily use/describe Project Builder as opposed to Xcode. Is there any quick start guide for getting up to speed with Xcode and WO?
2) I would like to create an iTunes-like app in Java (WebStart?), by which I m!
ean a fat client with a local data store (flat file or simple DB) and business logic as well as a server side content component and online store.
a) Would WO be an appropriate technology for this client app?
b) Is there a simple embedded browser sample/tutorial available as a starting point/reference for the fat client to display the WO generated web content?
c) Any recommendations for the local data store? Preferably a low-cost option?
3) This project is the main reason I purchased the Mac and WebObjects, but I had been primarily a Windows user in the past and so I am an OS X newbie as well. While I am getting up to speed reasonably well with OS X, I would appreciate any advice/tips/tricks/etc, especially slanted for a developer.
Thank you all very much for your attention.
Jason
