Jeremy-
You may want to take a look at a poet my me on Mar 7 re:'Question about
WORepititions'
in which I offer a mini-review of books I recently read.
Only book I omitted is "Webobjects 5.0 with Java" (Wrox Press 2001). It
is not too good in my opinion - too high level and the sample code is
NOT available (although I did learn from the WO Wiki that the Netstruxr
example did transform into the Project WONDER). There are 2 chapters
dealing on Direct to Web(D2W)) templating and the D2W Rules Engine,
which are advanced WO features and which I have not found in other
books. I bought it for $1.87 off Amazon, so no complaints here.
I you have gotten past the basics, then I would say the Ravi Mendis book
is quite good for progressing to a more intermediate level. The examples
build, for the most part, interatively so when you finish you have a
quite full-featured application built using previously built reusable
components. The code was built using ProjectBuilder, which is the
predecessor to Xcode; some the the apps will compile/run using todays
Xcode 2.4.1- others will not (because of lacking dependencies such
Apache FO XO processor jar). But I deleted these superfluous
component/classes from the project, then copied them into an Eclipse
project, where they ran quite well (with a few bugs); and I practiced
from within Eclipse.
Also the 'Practical WebObjects' is excellent, but does use Eclipse for
its demos. So you would have to copy/transform the demos a bit for Xcode
use.

Did the xcode +wo book ever get published?
If so, where can I get a copy?
If not, what other books would (anyone) recommend?
Which books would you stay FAR, FAR AWAY from?
Thanks,
