WebObjects is a web application framework. It's OLD old. It's about ten years older than Ruby on Rails, putting it on par with PHP and Ruby itself. NeXT made it and Apple decided to make it free. It was Objective-C and is now Java.
- Tloewald 13y agoWeb Objects was amazing for its time. It actually utilized server-side image maps to make web pages responsive before JavaScript took off.
- ams6110 13y agoIt's not any older than Interface Builder and other stuff in the Mac OS dev toolkit, as all of that came from NeXT. I would guess though that it has not been maintained or updated.
