Don:

As someone who is learning WO I can honeslty say I would have looked at your 
tutorials sooner if I'd known about them. They're a great addition since the 
best intro material I've seen so far is Apple's documentation (I've read all of 
it and it is still really useful and conceptual), and you help bridge the gap 
between thier use of deprecated tools and WOLips. (When I was done with that 
Chuck's book became very useful too.)

I've a question though. In your EoModelerBasics show, you made a to-one 
relationship from a Person entity to a Cadency entity (a title, like Jr or Sr). 
I get it. You also made the inverse to-many relationship from Cadency to 
Person. I don't get that. If I assume that I will never traverse an inverse 
relationship (I will never want to know what people have a Jr in their 
signature), do I have to model the inverse relationship? I've been skipping 
that.

One more question while I'm at it. What's the best way to model a linked list? 
I've thought of putting list items in a table with an inbred relationship that 
links to other list items. My concern is that to retrieve the list at once I'd 
have to have many trips to the database, because in a single fault I will only 
know the root item in the list, and after each succesive fetch will only have a 
reference to one more item. I don't know much about stored procedures; can one 
be written to fetch the entire list?

Thanks,

Tavis McDevitt

I agree with Robert, I created several tutorials for WebObjects as  
well as an installer for windows and linux.  This is something that I  
use my spare time to support.

Based on my review of hits to the tutorials, they are rarely  
accessed.  If they were used more, I would create more of them.

The tutorials I made are available at:  
http://web.me.com/pccdonl/tutorials/WoLipsInstall.htm 
  as is the installer.  (I havent updated the installer in a couple  
of months)
