Jeremy-
You may want to take a look at a poet my me on Mar 7 re:'Question about WORepititions'
in which I offer a mini-review of books I recently read.


Only book I omitted is "Webobjects 5.0 with Java" (Wrox Press 2001). It is not too good in my opinion - too high level and the sample code is NOT available (although I did learn from the WO Wiki that the Netstruxr example did transform into the Project WONDER). There are 2 chapters dealing on Direct to Web(D2W)) templating and the D2W Rules Engine, which are advanced WO features and which I have not found in other books. I bought it for $1.87 off Amazon, so no complaints here.

I you have gotten past the basics, then I would say the Ravi Mendis book is quite good for progressing to a more intermediate level. The examples build, for the most part, interatively so when you finish you have a quite full-featured application built using previously built reusable components. The code was built using ProjectBuilder, which is the predecessor to Xcode; some the the apps will compile/run using todays Xcode 2.4.1- others will not (because of lacking dependencies such Apache FO XO processor jar). But I deleted these superfluous component/classes from the project, then copied them into an Eclipse project, where they ran quite well (with a few bugs); and I practiced from within Eclipse.

Also the 'Practical WebObjects' is excellent, but does use Eclipse for its demos. So you would have to copy/transform the demos a bit for Xcode use.

Chuck (or anyone listening),

Did the xcode +wo book ever get published?

If so, where can I get a copy?
If not, what other books would (anyone) recommend?

Which books would you stay FAR, FAR AWAY from?
