Being quite the Wicket slut these days, I have to admit that a book about my favorite web  framework is exciting to see.  It reinforces what I already know, Wicket rocks!

The authors are two of the projects very active committers.

Martijn Dashorst and Eelco Hillenius

I have been on the Manning MEAP program for it and the book is looking very good.  It will be great to point newbs at on what Wicket it can do.

I know personally I have created web pages quicker, with more function than ever before in a java framework.  In comparison to my days back in Struts (oh the pain), once you get your head around Wicket, it is just sweet.

It truly makes web development in Java fun again.

Long live Wicket.

I have seen the gambit of frameworks, technologies, features, whatever.

Well I have to say, I have seen the future of Java Web development and it is called Wicket.

If you do any Java web development, you MUST investigate Wicket.

I will never write another JSP page as long as I do Java web development.

We had C, we made it better by C++.

We had C++, we made it better by Java.

We had Pascal, we made it better by ObjectPascal.

We had ObjectPascal, we made it better(?) by .Net.

(You can skip the whole C#, VB.Net, etc)… its still all .Net.

So…

We have Java & .Net, we make it better by Scala?

Is Scala really the next Java & .Net replacement?

Updated the site so that it should now be viewable on most mobile devices.

This is complements of a create WordPress plugin from (Andy Moore – WordPress Mobile Plugin)

Have tested it on several devices (all Window Mobile based though) and a couple emulators. Things looks good thanks Andy’s plugin.

I love these days when things just work.

Joe has released a follow up update to the 1.03 security update release just a couple days ago. For all the 2.x FF users, you should be given the option to download it as of now. Joe just keeps making better!

If you have not installed Firebug, use Firefox (if you aren’t, what are you doing), install it now! Web development without Firebug is just WRONG.

Get Firebug
