Apple WebObjects 5 - Manual (Page 15)

To help customers and the marketplace better appreciate the power of WebObjects, and to
make it more affordable to smaller organizations, Apple has set the price of WebObjects 5 at
$699 (only $99 for educational institutions). A single package contains both the developer tools
and a full deployment license. The license has no transaction limits, and allows you to install
the runtime on a separate machine—even a high-end server with multiple CPUs—at no
additional charge.
Now that WebObjects 5 is available in Java and runs on Apple’s new UNIX-based Mac OS X
operating system, we will be working hard to make the Java developer community aware of
the incredible power of WebObjects. WebObjects had a dedicated track at Apple’s WorldWide
Developers Conference in May 2001 that included 17 separate sessions, and it was a prominent
part of Apple’s booth at JavaONE. Time-limited WebObjects evaluation CDs and downloads are
being distributed by the Apple Developer Connection, even to free online members. The new
Mac OS X Server (v10.0) includes a full deployment license for WebObjects, making it the first
server software platform to include an enterprise-scale web application server.
WebObjects is available for sale via the Apple Store worldwide, as well as from various catalogs
and selected retailers. Up-and-running support is provide by our award-winning AppleCare
organization (www.info.apple.com/webobjects). API-based developer technical support is
available through the Apple Developer Connection (connect.apple.com). For more in-depth
assistance, our Apple iServices professional services organization (www.apple.com/iservices)
provides a wide range of WebObjects solutions, including consulting, training, and personalized
technical support.
