Project Wonder is chocked so full of WebObjects goodness that it is hard to envision developing a project without it. Here are three bits that I use all the time.
Autolocking EditingContexts
Step one: Learn WebObjects
Step two: Realize that using the session().defaultEditingContext() exclusively is bad.
Step three: Start using multiple EOEditingContexts.
Step four: Read, re-read, then read again the [...]
