Hi,
My company has a large body of WebObjects Objective-C code (WO 4.51) that has
been hacked to run on Tiger. I'd like to learn how to maintain and modify
it, but I've never programmed in WebObjects before. Therefore, I'm looking
for someone in the Bay Area (I'm in San Mateo) to provide some one on one
tutoring (how to get things set up and running, best practices, tips and
tricks). Any suggestions for who I might contact for such training would be
greatly appreciated.
Have a shot at running the migration utilities. There are a couple of
good howtos available. In the long run, you'll save time and money. For
the most part, you'll be tossing large chunks of code away (things that
are unnecessary with Java or were just overly cute/clever).
I recently migrated over a dozen 4.5/ObjC+Java projects to 5.x Java. On
average, it took less than a week/project (a few dozen components/project)
plus another 2 weeks/project bug hunting. The biggest pain was a DTW app
with over 10k rules (bleh! yuck!).
For best practices, drink not too deeply of the kool-aid. Stick to basics
(keep in mind web servers, browsers, databases and your coworkers when
you're looking at all those abstractions). WO does not obviate the need
for good software engineering.
Also, what would be a reasonable hourly fee to offer? Good places to
advertise for such training?
As for looking for training/mentoring, you should find no shortage of
people in the BA. If they're too cheap, you're probably wasting
money. Take a class, if one's available. This list is probably a good
place to find help.
Thanks for any help.
Chris
