Thursday - September 13, 2007Web Standards Solutions & Bulletproof Web DesignThe excellent Web Standards Solutions book has
been around for a while, but it is still the book I most often refer to
developers who are trying to move away from ugly tagitis-ridden table based
layouts and who want to embrace web standards, CSS layout and
styling.....
Monday - January 15, 2007Nice Intro to AntIf you are switching from XCode to Eclipse for
your WO development, then understanding 'ant', the popular java build tool is
very important. Check out this easy to digest PowerPoint presentation from John
Munsch:
http://www.johnmunsch.com/projects/Presentations/ Saturday - June 18, 2005Beginning WebObjectsBeginning java, WebObjects, HTML, CSS and
everything else all at the same time can be overwhelming. So, here is a quick
learning guideline for beginners of java and WebObjects.
Friday - April 15, 2005Design Patterns - Best Learning BookI just love this book. Very easy to understand
and digest this important topic. It is probably impossible to become a great OO
programmer without design patterns in your toolkit. And if the other dry dull
boring books on the topic have put you off up until now, then this is the one to
get you started.
Tuesday - September 14, 2004The Secret Life of WebObjects Components (Practical WebObjects)I just spent the weekend reading the chapter "The
Secret Life of Components" in the Practical WebObjects book.. What a brilliant
detailed explanation of the intriciacies of the request-response loop! Even if
you read nothing else of the detailed topics in this book, this chapter alone
pays for the book. Finally a "clear" picture of what's going on behind the
scenes in the WO framework.
Monday - August 30, 2004Designing and Project Managing Your ApplicationThere are so many formal methodologies out there
for designing and project managing software development. If we follow some of
those processes, we would spend forever documenting the design and never get any
code done, while it is surely true that if we do no design and planning at all,
our project could easily end up in failure. In my case, we have a small team of
only 2 developers that work part of the time on development and the rest on
production and customer support. And so far, our projects are small and
manageable as either standalone or incremental improvement and extension of
existing apps.
Wednesday - March 17, 2004Essential WebObjects "How To" bookThis book is an essential for any beginner or
internediate WebObjects developer. Of course those specializing in other
development approaches such as direct to web, Java client, etc. will get use of
information that is common to all approaches, but this book is still geared
towards web app developers.
Wednesday - March 17, 2004Java Beginner bookThis is the best Java beginners book I have
found. It is concise, easy to follow and use .... full of practical examples,
explanations and "how to" directions.
Friday - February 27, 2004Object Oriented Design in JavaIt is difficult to use an objected oriented
framework like WebObjects if you cannot sit down and create an object oriented
design of your system to begin with. In my opinion, this will make or break the
project, especially if it is a project of significant size. This book closes the
gap for beginners and provides practical object design
techniques...
