Veitshöchheim - January 10, 2008 - Unveil the secret at Real-World WebObjects Bootcamp, March 10-14, 2008
Big Nerd Ranch Europe announced the newest addition to its line-up of classes, Real-World WebObjects® Bootcamp taught by Guido Neitzer. The intensive five-day class is held March 10-14, 2008 at the distraction-free setting of Kloster Eberbach near Frankfurt, Germany. WebObjects has been a powerful and stable Web application server for many years. Real-World WebObjects Bootcamp is designed for all developers with the need to writing robust and scalable database-driven Web applications.

Referred to as "Apples® best kept secret", most of us have already used Apples own WebObjects based applications, namely the iTunes® Store, the Apple Store®, and the .Mac® service. It is WebObjects scalability and stability that makes it the ideal choice for mission critical Web applications. Like writing Cocoa applications for the Mac, once you know how it works, WebObjects makes developers extremely efficient in writing expandable and reusable Web applications. WebObjects applications are built on the Mac and can be deployed almost anywhere, running it stand-alone or combined with other application servers.
Over the course of five days, instructor Guido Neitzer navigates students through an exhaustive examination of WebObjects 5.4. The class is structured into approximately 30 units of short lectures followed by immediate hands-on practice of lesson content. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Getting started with WebObjects, incl. Eclipse and WOLips
- Understanding WebObjects most important concepts, frameworks, and components
- Getting to know the power of reusable components
- Accessing databases through the Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF)
- Dealing with data, incl. validation, fetch specifications, and invalidating data objects
- Unit testing business logic using WOUnitTest/JUnit
- Migrating to an updated data model
- Localizing the application for multiple languages
- Exploring Project Wonder, incl. AJAX, and other ready-to-use components
"While Ruby on Rails is getting a lot of press lately, WebObjects has had the same capabilities for a decade," commented Aaron Hillegass, Big Nerd Ranch founder. "It is a powerful tool for creating database-driven websites, and Guido Neitzer is one of the most experienced WebObjects developers around."
While no previous experience in WebObjects programming is required, it is helpful to have some experience in object-oriented Java programming, and some basic skills in HTML and CSS. For students to achieve the maximum results from the class, it is highly recommended that students attending the class be familiar with basic database design and usage. The class structure is fluid and is designed to be practical for the students attending. Therefore, the class outline can be adjusted to accommodate the needs and real-world challenges facing participants.
