Just posted this to the webobjects-newbies list: Google found this GREAT pdf from Apple's WWDC 2000 on Optimizing WebObjects applications, by long time WO developers CodeFab. If you're starting out in WO - go read it. Now.

Hey - git!!

Ok, I'm a lemming - along with dozens of other weblogs, I've submitted an application for an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) (like an ISBN but for serials) for "Redmonk.Net" as an online serial publication. Man, That's cool.

"Jim" Roepcke, my current WebObjects mentor and all-around great guy, is bragging about the blog he built in an hour with WebObjects. We won't mention who put him up to it...

Christian Pekeler of Codefab has put together a radical little command line tool called id2id for "Mac OS X". It takes a set of Obj-C interface definitions and outputs a graphical view of them, in OmniGraffle format.

via Wes, and Cam's CMS list, is this interesting exploration of XML and databases.
