 | Web Objects for Macintosh (Visual QuickProject Guides) by Joshua Marker
Buy new: £98.73 / Used from: £52.77 A simple, adequate, introductory guide. Pretty pictures for those who need them. Roughly at the same level as the tutorial that comes with the WO box; get the WROX book instead (next).

 | Professional WebObjects with Java by Thomas Termini
Buy used from: £3.70 The first half is a very good introduction to WebObjects. In the second half, the authors interests take them into Direct to Web, a side track that is best avoided by the inexperienced.
|
 | Practical WebObjects (Expert's Voice in Java) by Charles; Mallais, Sacha Hill
Buy new: £22.03 / Used from: £16.54 An advanced guide for experienced WebObjects developers. This is a very good text, loosely corresponding to Apple's Advanced 5 day class.
|
 | WebObjects: Web Application Construction Kit by George Ruzek
Buy new: £41.03 / Used from: £3.16 Affectionately known as WOWACK, it would be my top preference for beginners if it wasn't written for WO 4.5 (current release is 5.2). An updated version seem unlikely.
|
 | Web Objects Developer's Guide (kaleidoscope (SAMS)) by Ravi Mendis
Buy new: £34.72 / Used from: £7.89 Many misprints and errors, and the author's particular focus on SVG, make this unsuitable for beginners. Otherwise it can be quite interesting.
|
 | Building WebObjects 5 Applications by Jesse Feiler
Buy new: £16.90 / Used from: £3.96 Effectively just a rewrite of the reference documentation that comes with the system, and so has little to recommend it.
|
 | Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference: A Comprehensive Resource for HTML, CSS, DOM & JavaScript: The Definitive Reference (Dynamic Html) by Danny Goodman
Buy new: £17.51 / Used from: £3.44 The definitive reference and guide for HTML. Essential backup.
|
 | Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer
Buy new: £25.65 / Used from: £4.99 Essential reference for CSS, should be on your reference shelf.
|
 | JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (Definitive Guides) by David Flanagan
Buy used from: £5.49 Most WebObjects applications will benefit from a few Javascripts to tidy them up. This is the essential reference.
|
 | Thinking in Java (One-Off) by Bruce Eckel
Buy used from: £9.00 The best book for learning Java that I have yet found. Takes a serious approach, treats Java as a tool for developing applications, not games, and is infused with object oriented thinking.
|
 | Object Thinking (DV-Microsoft Professional) by D. West
Buy new: £21.63 / Used from: £9.12 To date, the best introduction to object orientation that I have found. Thanks, Doug!
|
 | Head First Design Patterns (Head First) by Eric Freeman
Buy new: £17.76 / Used from: £16.95 If you need a primer on Design Patterns, this is the one. However, the style is very long winded and irritating if you aren't an American teenager.

Listmania!
