This chapter introduces you to the basic concepts and procedures of
developing WebObjects applications. You’ll develop, in stages, a simple
application for the World Wide Web. The application you’ll write is called
GuestBook.

When you’ve finished the steps in this chapter, your application will have
a single web page containing a form that allows users to enter their names,
e-mail addresses, and comments. When the form is submitted, the
application redraws the page with the user’s information at the bottom.

In Chapter 2, “Enhancing Your Application” (page 37), you will add
features to the application, including a second page, a table that displays
information from multiple users, and hyperlinks.

This application illustrates the basic techniques you use to create a
WebObjects application. You’ll use two primary tools, Project Builder
and WebObjects Builder.
