Not worth a read
The code examples in this book didn't work.
There was no consistent flow.
Too many authors and no editor or proofreader.
Years of Java experience didn't help in understanding this book, when examples don't work, it's impossible to guess is it the framework that is failing or poor writing?
For a beginner, I highly recommend Joshua Marker's book.WebObjects is little known and used, I almost gave up exploring it until I saw on a discussion board to pick up other Webobjects books.
This book is no longer in print, and it's no wonder why!!!!!

Good stepping stone to WO
I have read many of the WO books out there and this is not the best book to start with but after a little time working with WO this book can help you to the next level.Some other reveiws mention the poor editing, but if you know a little about programing , you can make sense out of the books examples.It seems like all the other WO books are for beginners, this book is the next step.After you have read this book and worked with WO a bit more, you should check out "Practical WebObjects" - Charles Hill, Sacha Mallias, another great book.

Overpriced and out of date
The sample code used in this book doesn't compile with xcode or older versions of webobjects/project builder.Searches on the web for errata with good versions of the code were not found.Without working sample code, its impossible to follow along and make modifications to test out changes and experiment.This is not a version issue as I made a lot of effort to get older versions of WebObjects pre-Xcode to compile with as well as trying with Xcode.Its sad the authors do not care enough about paying customers to have not tested all the code before releasing it.
Some of the material in the book is helpful - but for a beginner is often not detailed enough or is confusing.I've had better luck with the other webobjects books on Amazon.

the best, but not great
I bought this book to teach myself WO from the gound up. It has been extremely helpful and I highly recommend it if you're attempting to do the same. That being said, the book is quite difficult to learn from. This book teaches from fairly narrow examples and leaves it up to the reader to extrapolate the general concepts. ... Read more

Excerpt: As Player As Coach Frank Joseph Filchock (October 8, 1916 June 20, 1994) was an American and Canadian football tailback/quarterback and coach. As a consequence of a famous scandal regarding the 1946 NFL Championship game, he was suspended by the National Football League from 1947 to 1950 for associating with gamblers. Born in 1916 in the small Pennsylvania mining town of Crucible, Filchock was a star player at Redstone Township High School and later at Indiana University. After graduating from university, he became the second pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates (now the Pittsburgh Steelers) in the second round of the 1938 NFL draft. The Pirates' first first-round draft choice that year was Byron (Whizzer) White of Colorado, who later became a U.S. Supreme Court judge. Filchock appeared in six games for the Pirates in 1938, and then was sold to the Washington Redskins. At Washington he appeared in six more games in the 1938 season, as understudy to Sammy Baugh. He remained with the Redskins through the 1941 season, part of the time alternating quarters with Baugh. During this period of alternation, the two were known as Slingin' Sam and Flingin' Frank. On October 15, 1939 Filchock threw the first 99-yard touchdown pass in NFL history, to Andy Farkas, in a game against his old team, the Pirates. This set a record for longest play from scrimmage, a record that can only be tied, not broken. In 1939 and 1944 he led the league in touchdown passes. In the latter year he ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4371398 ... Read more
