Practical WebObjects
This book is aimed at WebObjects developers who want to increase their overall knowledge of WebObjects, or those who are trying to solve specific application development problems.
Both authors are partners and senior consultants at Global Village Consulting, Inc., a software development consultancy that specializes in Java based web applications, and are experienced WebObjects users. While Apple provides a modicum of documentation for developers just starting with WebObjects, more skilled WebObjects developers typically learn from each other or via trial-and-error. Practical WebObjects formalizes this process for the skilled and experienced WebObjects developer with this 100% pragmatic resource featuring working, world-tested solutions for difficult problems. Since its publication, Practical WebObjects has become the bible of WebObjects development and nearly every WebObjects developer has a copy available.
Here's what some of our readers had to say:
"If you are just
starting out there will be lots in it you don't understand. That will be OK,
the stuff you 'do' understand will make you grateful you own it. And once
you've outgrown the Apple tutorials and the Joshua Marker Quick Pro guide, you
will be very glad to have it on your bookshelf."

"Your book is
outstanding! Your examples and discussion on key WebObjects internals is
essential reading and really highlights key areas to consider for robust
WebObjects development."
- Paul Van Hout, Pragmatyxs

"The authors do
an excellent job of explaining crucial concepts like the request-response loop,
the EOF stack, object graph concepts, validation, etc. Unlike other books this
one cuts directly to the chase. For beginners some chapters act as road map
through Apple's documentation... Its a problem solver - the WebObjects edition
of the Swiss army knife. The authors present ready-made solutions to many
common tasks. This book will save you hours if not weeks. And it does so while
completely explaining not only the solution but also the reasonings and
techniques behind it. This makes the book an interesting read and it just may
spark the idea needed to solve even problems not covered."
