Hi Igor,
Congratulations on your new book. I have already got a copy and I have been
using it as reference from day 1. I particularly like the straightforward
structure: this is the scenario, this is how you implement it. It is very
well written.
I find the data tables section particularly useful as I'm implementing a
search functionality that will use data tables to list the results.
Great job and I thoroughly recommend the book.

Did someone else also order the printed version? If so, did you
receive it yet or should I be worried now ;-)

 Subject: Apache Wicket Cookbook Published!

 For the past nine months I have been quietly working on a book about
 Wicket. Unlike other books on the market this one does not attempt to
 teach you Wicket from the ground up. Instead, it is for developers who
 already know the basics and want to learn how to implement some of the
 more advanced use cases. Essentially, it contains recipes that show the
 reader how to implement solutions to some of, what I think are, the most
 commonly asked questions and stumbling blocks. This morning I was
 informed that the book has been published! You can read more about it
 and pick up a copy on PACKT's Site[1]. I hope you enjoy it, more details
 below...

 [1] https://www.packtpub.com/apache-wicket-cookbook/book

 ## Description ##

 Apache Wicket is one of the most famous Java web application frameworks.
 Wicket simplifies web development and makes it fun. Are you bored of
 going through countless pages of theory to find out how to get your web
 development done? With this book in hand, you don't need to go through
 hundreds of pages to figure out how you will actually build a web
 application. You will get practical solutions to your common everyday
 development tasks to pace up your development activities.

 Apache Wicket Cookbook provides you with information that gets your
 problems solved quickly without beating around the bush. This book is
 perfect for you if you are ready to take the next step from tutorials
 and step into the practical world. It will take you beyond the basics of
 using Apache Wicket and show you how to leverage Wicket's advanced
 features to create simpler and more maintainable solutions to what at
 first may seem complex problems.

 You will learn how to integrate with client-side technologies such as
 JavaScript libraries or Flash components, which will help you to build
 your application faster. You will discover how to use Wicket paradigms
 to factor out commonly used code into custom Components, which will
 reduce the maintenance cost of your application, and how to leverage the
 existing Wicket Components to make your own code simpler.

 A straightforward Cookbook with highly focused practical recipes to make
 your web application development easier with the Wicket web framework

 ## What you will learn from this book ##

 * Leverage Wicket to implement a wide variety of both simple and
 advanced use cases in a narrative that gets straight to the point
 * Make forms work in the crazy world of the Web by learning the ways of
 Wicket's form processing
 * Simplify localizing your Wicket applications
 * Take the boring out of your forms by discovering how to improve the
 user experience while simplifying your code at the same time
 * Leverage the built-in Table component to make displaying tabular data
 a snap
 * Think Wicket's Borders are not very useful? Learn to use them in
 unexpected places to simplify things
 * See how to integrate with Flash components and create interactive
 charts at the same time
 * Web 1.0 too boring? Learn how to tame Wicket's AJAX support and bring
 your application into Web 2.0
 * Simplify your security code by learning various security techniques
 * An application cannot be built with Wicket alone; see how to make it
 play nice with other frameworks

 ## Approach ##

 This is a hands-on practical guide to a large variety of topics and use
 cases. This book tries to use real-world examples when possible, but is
 not afraid to come up with a contrived pretext if it makes explaining
 the problem simpler. Unlike a lot of other books, this one does not try
 to maintain a continuous theme from chapter to chapter, such as
 demonstrating solutions on the same fictional application; doing so
 would be almost impossible given the wide variety of recipes presented
 here. Instead, this book concentrates on focused problems users are
 likely to encounter and shows clear solutions in a step-by-step manner.
 This book tries to teach by example and is not afraid to show a lot of
 code because, after all, it is for coders.

 ## Who this book is written for ##

 This book is for current users of the Apache Wicket framework; it is not
 an introduction to Wicket that will bore you with tons of theory.
 You are expected to have built or maintained a simple Wicket application
 in the past and to be looking to learn new and better ways of using
 Wicket. If you are ready to take your Wicket skills to the next level
 this book is for you.

 Cheers, and I hope you enjoy the book!

 likely to encounter and shows clear solutions in a step-by-step manner.

## Description ##

Apache Wicket is one of the most famous Java web application
frameworks. Wicket simplifies web development and makes it fun. Are
you bored of going through countless pages of theory to find out how
to get your web development done? With this book in hand, you don't
need to go through hundreds of pages to figure out how you will
actually build a web application. You will get practical solutions to
your common everyday development tasks to pace up your development
activities.

Apache Wicket Cookbook provides you with information that gets your
problems solved quickly without beating around the bush. This book is
perfect for you if you are ready to take the next step from tutorials
and step into the practical world. It will take you beyond the basics
of using Apache Wicket and show you how to leverage Wicket's advanced
features to create simpler and more maintainable solutions to what at
first may seem complex problems.

You will learn how to integrate with client-side technologies such as
JavaScript libraries or Flash components, which will help you to build
your application faster. You will discover how to use Wicket paradigms
to factor out commonly used code into custom Components, which will
reduce the maintenance cost of your application, and how to leverage
the existing Wicket Components to make your own code simpler.

A straightforward Cookbook with highly focused practical recipes to
make your web application development easier with the Wicket web
framework

## What you will learn from this book ##

* Leverage Wicket to implement a wide variety of both simple and
advanced use cases in a narrative that gets straight to the point
* Make forms work in the crazy world of the Web by learning the ways
of Wicket's form processing
* Simplify localizing your Wicket applications
* Take the boring out of your forms by discovering how to improve the
user experience while simplifying your code at the same time
* Leverage the built-in Table component to make displaying tabular data a snap
* Think Wicket's Borders are not very useful? Learn to use them in
unexpected places to simplify things
* See how to integrate with Flash components and create interactive
charts at the same time
* Web 1.0 too boring? Learn how to tame Wicket's AJAX support and
bring your application into Web 2.0
* Simplify your security code by learning various security techniques
* An application cannot be built with Wicket alone; see how to make it
play nice with other frameworks

## Who this book is written for ##

This book is for current users of the Apache Wicket framework; it is
not an introduction to Wicket that will bore you with tons of theory.
You are expected to have built or maintained a simple Wicket
application in the past and to be looking to learn new and better ways
of using Wicket. If you are ready to take your Wicket skills to the
next level this book is for you.

Cheers, and I hope you enjoy the book!
