In disguise??? Back when I was at NeXT we called it the WebObjects
Framework. Not really much of a disguise if you have it in the f'n
name.
Maybe I hadn't choosen the right word to translate their spetacular
analysis: "Webobjects is a framework not being used anymore". And
this conclusion comes from a large technology consulting company.
We discussed this phenomenon last night at the WO NoVA group.
Consulting companies almost always get paid by the man-hour. If a
project can be done in 1/10th the time with WO as it can be with
another tech it is actually a disincentive for the consulting company
to recommend WO because they'll make 1/10th the money off the project.
That's their flawed perspective.
It is a conflict of interest for an external company to define what
the best technology is for a job that they are going to develop.
Period. It is in the consulting companies best interest to bill as
many hours as possible without getting sued. How they go about that is
very rarely also in the best interest of the customer.
If the consulting company views their best interest as keeping the
customer happy and getting additional projects going forward, then it
is far more likely that the tech that they choose will be the best for
the customer as well. This is exceedingly rare.
Sorry to sound so bleak, but I'd say that a majority of WO projects
out there are in-house projects where a working application with a
minimal amount of development time is really in _everyone's_ best
interests.
