PS: what would be the reason for using wonder?
Short list?:
Ajax.framework - Ajax the WebObjects way
ERXGenericRecord - will* methods plus much much more
Auto EOEditingContext locking
ERMigrations - Easy database schema change managment
ERPrototypes - Consistent set of Prototypes for many databases
Validity - Model based validation
ERDirectToWeb - Lots of extra stuff for D2W applications
ERTaggable - Tagging mixin for WebObjects apps
ERAttachment - Attachment mixin for WebObjects apps
ERJavaMail - WO wrapper around Javamail
Any number of things in ERXExtensions
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Gustavo's goal to compare
WO with other Web development technologies as part of a computer
science course? How much can a student expect to learn while also
spending time for other classes as well? WO itself is huge. Add
WOnder on top of that and I think you'll be guaranteeing the Gustavo
doesn't finish his assignment by the end of his course. I mean, how
much of the above short list will Gustavo actually need in the next
few months?
I think expecting a WO newby to learn WO plus WOnder concurrently may
be enough to drive some newbies to other technologies. I'm a
proponent of the KISS principle wherever possible; e.g., learn WO
basics first, then add WOnder when you understand WO basics.
