Re: JavaCast wants a speaker on WebObjects

Well, it seems Nathan has taken matters into his own hands (search for  
WebObjects in iTunes podcasts) ....... good for you Nathan ..... well  
done man!

I just sent this comment recently after listening to the first JavaCast  
......

Hi,

I really like your podcast show ..... great, keep up the good work.

Possible Topics:

WebObjects - Apple's java-based web application development frameworks  
and tools (including EOF - Enterprise Objects Framework). A few years  
ago, this sold for up to $50,000. As of XCode version 2.1 on Tiger,  
development is free and unlimited deployment is included in the $499 OS  
X Server license.

It's very powerful, object-oriented, scalable and once experienced,  
development is very fast. In fact, it _is_ the server-side  
implementation that drives the iTunes music store .... your very own  
podcast is cached, delivered and managed in iTunes by a  
WebObjects-based java application (actually probably dozens, if not  
hundreds of instances running on lots of Apple XServe servers.  
Typically WebObjects works with any ANSI SQL 92 compliant database and  
the WebObjects-based java applications in general are database-vendor  
independent. I think Apple uses Oracle databases, but I am sure MySQL  
is prominent also.

Here is a very good one-page intro:

with a 15 minute "quick and dirty" web app creation from scratch using  
WebObjects frameworks.

Used on many site, here are a few examples.....

Anyhow, listening to the recent JavaCast, it seems the response from  
Apple PR (listen to first few minutes intro) was ..... well, listen for  
yourself .....
