Hi there.
I am an experienced developer but an absolute WebObjects Newbie.
What I
found deeply lacking in the WO world is the availability of Screen
casts.
Did you consider to simply do some screen casts instead of writing
tutorials? No need to be an entertainer but you can still get your
message
across much faster. The human brain is designed to learn much faster
by
watching someone else solving some kind of problem.
Actually, there are some. Look at http://www.wocommunity.org/
The reason I do not want a screen cast for a tutorial is that I am of
a generation that prefers to read: I know it is very old hat that one
wants to go back to a previous segment, without having to listen to
all the stuff in between that you have already heard several times,
but that is all possible with this technology called paper reading.
Isn't that cool? (quoting Steve J.)
No seriously, I think screen cast would be an option if the manual is
more or less stable. At the moment I am still in the building and
testing phase of the example, to try to get into it all the things
that people would like to know in a beginner's tutorial on WebObjects
and WOLips developing. Sometimes that requires reshuffling
information, perhaps putting D2W on the back burner etc.
As soon as it is a little more stable, I'd consider it.
If only Anjo would like to comment with a heavy german accent, and
Pascal with a heavy french accent, we could do a WebObjects Allo
Allo!...
If things get really complex, release a new Screencast every other
week that
builds up on the last one. I use SubSonic (Open-Source ORM) a lot
and the
creator cranks out nice Screen casts on a regular basis
(http://www.subsonicproject.com/). Just my 2 cents...
