[Wicket-user] Broadest appeal for Wicket

2006-05-19 Thread Dave Johnson
I have a little background in OO and am a strong advocate, though I know 
it needs to be done well, just like anything else.  And I have some 
beginning competence in Java and use it with Eclipse.  So Wicket has 
great appeal for me.


However, not being familiar with the various web development layers 
(Spring, Struts, Hibernate, Jetty ad infinitum), I soon find myself in 
'configuration hell' when trying to use Wicket.  Even the clearest, most 
basic instructions I've found assume experience I don't have.


Perhaps I'm an audience of one but I hope the forthcoming Wicket in 
Action book will make it easier for anyone like me who is strongly drawn 
to Wicket but has a background web developers would consider 
inadequate.  Maybe it's asking too much, since I've looked at every 
tutorial and guide I could find and most are very good.  If they 
required no prior knowledge of anything but Java, though, they would 
reach a wider audience.
