Apple's WebObject Platform

Remember a few weeks ago, I posted about the fact that I needed to become serious with studying and starting working with the .Net platform? Well I've tried and tried and tried again and for some reason, I still do not like it.

However, everyday that passes, am feeling more and more at home in Java. Besides that, many people in my immediate environment and around the world have started moving away from Microsoft. More and more are going the Open Source way and in my opinion, Java is a beautiful language for OS software implementation. But also, I like Java for its strong background and standards to which extent programmers are somehow forced to adhere to.

I believe in web applications. I also believe that web applications would be the way to future application development. I believe that applications would be less and less coming to the desktop and rather sitting somewhere on a server where all users have access to it. For developers, web applications are easier to write and to maintain. So, am sticking with web-apps development and to do that, I need a strong platform, running on an OS that I like: enter webobjects from Apple.

For the next few weeks, I will be busy reading about the technology, code, application etc... HERE.

  1. Sounds interesting... Although I don't dislike .NET that much, Java was (for me) very easy to learn.

    The only reason why I don't hate .NET is because of Mono really. Windows servers suck. :) But Apple servers of course not.

    Personally I'm quite in favour of open source/cross-platform development tools, but keep us updated about WebObjects; sounds very interesting.

  2. Sure. I've actually gotten hooked up since yesterday. I haven't stopped reading about it. I love the architecture of WebObjects and the way it relates to applications wether it be "web applications", "java clients" or "web services". Each of those are sort of webobjects specific terminology. I will be doing a review post on it. At the moment I am still reading the overview. I haven't played around with the code yet. Keep in touch.
