Product Description
Im glad were having our first real Wicket book available now...It is more than just a how-to guide; Karthik goes through the effort of explaining alternatives and explains how things are done by Wicket instead of merely giving you the steps to get a task done. — Eelco Hillenius, Chillenious! Wicket is an open source, component-oriented (POJOs-based), lightweight Java web application development framework that brings the Java Swing event-based programming model to web development. Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed, and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Wicket provides stateful components, thereby improving productivity. It has an architecture and rich component suite that aims to bring back the object orientation and, more importantly, the fun that is missing from the Java web development space. With the impending 1.2 release, Wicket is set for wider adoption. Pro Wicket gets you up and running quickly with this framework. Youll learn how to configure Wicket, then gradually gain exposure to the �Wicket way� of addressing web development requirements. Youll want to pick up a copy because it - Is the first book to cover the Wicket framework with Spring integration and Ajax features
- Demonstrates all major wicket capabilities through simple examples
- Covers important aspects like Wicket-Spring integration and Ajax support

 A welcome first book on Wicket November 10, 2006

I liked Pro Wicket because:
* finally newcomers have a way to learn how to get productive with Wicket
* it is compact, and doesn't waste a lot of time talking around the issues
* still it is more than just a how-to, as Karthik sometimes explains multiple ways of achieving something and has a chapter on custom components.
It is unfortunate that some errors crept in, but then again, readers will get the idea.
Good introduction November 17, 2006

Before this book there was only the Wicket API, and a varigated collection of wiki pages. The all-important overview and introduction to core concepts was something that you had to assemble on your own, more or less.
This book fill the gap perfectly. It lays a thorough foundation on Wickets concepts and how to get started. The book takes a step-by-step approach and I could read most of it without having to do a "hack-a-long" to keep up with the argumentation.
The book suited me very well, and gave me the overall knowledge needed to use the API effectively. I recommend it to all beginners of Wicket.
Good, but not for dummies January 9, 2007

This book is good, but I recommend having worked a little bit with Wicket before using this book. The beginning of the book is not basic enough for dummies.
 hope for a better book on Wickiet March 20, 2007

It is good to be the first book about Wicket, that in itself helps readers who seek more comprehensive information than the online doc. However, the book is too deeply bound (almost obsessed) with working through the example code. It does not do a good job to explain the architecture view of Wicket and how it differs from traditional frameworks, nor does it provide much description to the many components with wicket or its extension. For the experienced developers, the wicket Wiki on [...] is more helpful. For the novice, this isn't a well organized to learn from.
Hope the Wicket in Action will do a better job.
