Hi Doug,
You're going to have to persevere a little harder than that to become
a WO developer!
For learning, you are going to be fine with WO 5.4. By the time you
are thinking about your first/next project, the toolset and
frameworks should be stable again. In fact, if you just get started
with the tools, that should take you some time to get used to.
I really like Miguel Arroz's introductory document put up over the
weekend. It is not complete, but it offers tremendous hard-won advice:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Best+Practices-
Starting+From+Scratch
There is also a nice blog put together by Kieran Kelleher as he was
learning WO. You'll see many of the issues you'll be running into
covered at his site: http://homepage.mac.com/kelleherk/iblog/
C1216817469/index.html (start at the bottom of the page for the
earliest blog entries).
Janine's tutorial mentioned in previous messages will get you used to
using the tools and some of the concepts of WO development. It is a
much better tutorial than the Apple one, which certainly led me in
some strange directions starting out. http://wotutorial.furfly.com/
downloads.html
You may have some difficulties getting the Apple provided sample code
running on Leopard. Pascal Robert has put up a screencast showing
what needs to be done to get the samples running.
A database that you may not have heard of is used quite widely in the
WO community. It is now provided with a free license: http://
www.frontbase.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/FrontBase
Have fun! If you stick with it, you will be rewarded!

Thanks. Damn my iMac is the only one in the house with Leopard. I'm
beginning to think that I have wasted money by WO.

Hi and welcome,
yes, WebObjects works with Leopard, but WO 5.4 has some bugs. I
strongly suggest that you wait for WO 5.4.1 or, if you have access to
a Tiger machine, that you install WO 5.3 if you can't wait.
As for getting started, check out:

Hello all,
First, Happy Festivus.
Second, I have made the twenty year cut with PC/Windows and gone
full iMac.
Third, I have done a fair amount of web development with Adobe/
Macromedia software.
Fourth, I have now moved to WebObjects.
The questions:
First, does WebObjects work with Leopard.
Second, any tutorial or book recommendation would be most
appreciated.
Cheerio, Doug
