I am new to this community and this is my first post, I hope that you could help
me making the last jump to be a real WO Developper ! ;)
I have to design a DB connected web app and as I have a strong OO background and had
the chance to work 6 month with WO, I can not imagine using an other tool !
(tried rails, tapestry ... still not convinced ... I really liked EOmodeler, WObuilder
and all the design philosophy !)
At this time, I was developping locally and don't had any idea
on how to deploy (and I still don't have any idea... ).
I ve read a lot throught the various forums, but some doubts still persist,
here what I want do and please tell me if this is feasible
(sorry if some question may seems newbie but I am NOT a web developper):
1. Buy mac
2. Get WO5.3.x Dev free
3. Develop web app with all the cool stuff
--> are you using WOlips ? I remember it was really slow running on mac ... ?
--> I like strong typing, .... can i use java 5.0 with all the generic stuff and just
avoid the buggy stuff (BigDecimal, ...) or is it too risky ?
--> Also, I want in the future to really improve the front end design, is it sufficient to use
some WO tools or using iWeb or whatever tool is best suited ?
4. Deploy on linux or windows
--> For what I had understood reading posts, I can use a deployment key found in some path somewhere
on the developent platform ?
-->What do I have to install as (free)server on the deploy platform ? tomcat ? what is the best ?
Is there a kind of Webobject runtime also to deploy ?, if yes I have to buy this ? please help !
--> the most important is that I want to be sure that soon I buy the mac I don't have to buy anything else
just develop, then deploy on a target deploy machine (linux or windows) using this key !
5. The app is functional, working and nice looking, let's enjoy it but let's try to improve it
gradually with ajax and other web2.0 stuff
(I dont have a damn idea on how this work, okay this step is optional ;) )
Thanks a lot for your feedback on this, this crucial for me that
I need to achieve at least to step 4 !
David.
