Help - Where to Start

[Ken Foust]

Hello,
I am new and can't program worth a damn.  Now with that being said I want to build
a web application using postgres > Visual Web > Netbeans 6.1.

I have built apps that work using WebObjects on Mac > but mac screwed us all and depreciated the
tools.

Visual web seems to be a worthy or probably very superior replacement.

My problem is most of the tutorials I see are just for fragments.  
When using WO we had a book that took you step by step building a database driven
web and and the book was great and the app worked.  I just did not get it finished.  
most of the app was built using visual programing and drag and drop images.
I am diedhard Mac X

I am not interested at this time in anything I really don't need like ajax etc

Is there such a book or tutorial or even a full blown app I could look at.

Thanks - Fousto

I agree that a beginning to end book about building a typical
small/medium VW app in NB is sorely needed. There are a good number of
individual component demos online, but none really do a good job of
showing the entire picture of a typical functioning site. There is a
good book for the .Net side that does this very thing, although the
author's implementation of best practices is a bit sketchy at times.
The book is "ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming, Problem - Design -
Solution" by Marco Bellinaso. Maybe one of these brilliant Sun
programmers or evangelists will sit down and crank one of these out to
help with the learning curve for many beginning Web programmers.

Kudos,
-Brad
