I'm assuming you already have a handle on vanilla WO. Getting started with Wonder is really about figuring out what it contains. Generally there are: 1. The things it fixes 2. The things it adds Preparing your project ------------------------------ <http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Project+WONDER-Quickstart > The things it fixes ----------------------- Once your app is based on Wonder you get a ton of stuff for free (patches to stuff providing bug fixes etc). There are additional things you can opt into, autolocking ECs are one of those: <http://davidleber.net/?p=282> You could stop now and still gain tremendous benefit from Wonder, or continue on to... The things it adds ------------------------ ERXExtensions: Read the documentation and/or code - there are lots of components and classes that handle commonly needed tasks (localization, various conditional variants, NSArray utilities, etc). Ajax: An amazingly WOlike implementation of Ajaxian behaviours. See: <http://www.mdimension.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/AjaxExample.woa/wa/default > for examples. ERDirectToWeb, ERSelenium, ERPrototypes, ERJavaMail... You don't need to master them all. Pick one and build on that. I started with ERJavaMail (back in the day) and I've been slowly adding to my arsenal as my needs and understanding develops. ;david -- David LeBer Codeferous Software 'co-def-er-ous' adj.
