It took 55 minutes, including some very basic demo of a datatable component with filters and sort (from the databinder baseball players example), of Ajax components (using the guestbook demo and quickly showing the source code), a live demo of community activity (number of e-mails sent on the mailing lists during the talk) and a more detailed demo of the custom component (I didn't show the slides with source code, but rather the actual source in eclipse with more detailed explanation). I first thought I could showcase detailed error reporting with a bad wicket id in the custom component demo, but I was too short in time. In the past i have had trouble running through all of them in little less than an hour. I have mine coming up late october in India and i have only 50 minutes to sell Wicket!. It can work, it depends on how long you spend on each point. Maybe I talked a little bit too quickly (with the stress of the presentation, controlling the speech flow is not easy). Watching the recorded talk would be the best to evaluate the time, but I don't think it'll be available before october. I like the reference to Pro JSF Ajax - I had the exact same feeling reading that book sometime back and i even pinged Eelco and told him. I didn't actually read the book, but I attended to a talk from the authors at last javapolis, and was not convinced by the simplicity of creating custom components for JSF they were talking about. I first thought I could bring the book to show it instead of having just a cover picture, but I forgot it in my hotel room :-) How I wish I had learnt JSF before coming to wicket - Am supposed to do a session comparing both. So in my spare time am forced to try out exercises in JSF - its so painful to go backwards in life ! :-( I understand your pain :-) Some points of comparison from what I know of JSF (I may be wrong): control over your URLs, use of HTTP verbs (GET vs POST) and of course custom components. Also this - http://chillenious.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/a-word-about-custom-components/ Yes, I quoted a phrase from this wonderful post! Btw, do you mind if i re-use some of your slide contents ? ;-) Sure, no problem, most of the slides are from Martjin's presentation anyway :-) Xavier thanks, Karthik On 9/12/07, Xavier Hanin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Wicket community, I've just finished my presentation on Wicket at JavaZone!

Re: JavaZone presentation follow up
Congrats! And thank you for finally getting Wicket a presentation at
JavaZone. Third time is a charm ('05 and '06 we had to pass, and if
not for you '07 would also be a JavaZone without Wicket)
So thanks!

It went pretty well, people seemed interested, well, at least those who were awake :-) It's difficult to say how many attendees there was, I'd say about 150 or 200, but I'm not very good to evaluate an audience size. The room was almost packed anyway, with even a few people standing up. At the end I had a few people asking questions (5 or 6), including people who told me they were very interested by Wicket and impressed by the ease of use of what they've seen during the talk. The talk was recorded, so hopefully you'll be able to ear my horrible accent in a near future :-) Xavier hf at javazone, gerolf On 9/12/07, Jan Kriesten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi xavier, I've just finished my presentation on Wicket at JavaZone! congrats! and thanks for providing the ppt - i'll take it as inspiration for my presentation in october. :-) regards, --- jan. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Xavier Hanin - Independent Java Consultant http://xhab.blogspot.com/ http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/ http://www.xoocode.org/

Thanks a lot for talking Xavier! I hope you have fun over there :-) Oslo is a very beautilful city and we are lucky enough to have sunny days. And javazone is a very nice conference, somewhat weird by some aspects (I'm not used to see a heavy metal concert for the opening show of a conference :-)). So yes I have fun!
