2008-08-19 Thread Martijn Dashorst
Though we don't expect to become rich from this book, you *really*
don't have any idea what personal sacrifices Eelco and I have given to
make this book happen. If we get enough money to go on a weeks
vacation with our wives that would be exceeding my expectations, and
barely do justice to what we put them through.

Our publisher also needs to earn money. The only way they can do that
is to actually ask money for the books they publish. Without the
publisher, Wicket in Action would not have been possible, and wouldn't
have been nearly as good (MEAP subscribers can see the difference
between an edited and non-edited book). If you would like to continue
receive more books about your favorite Java projects, then don't
hesitate and support the publisher and authors and *buy* their books.

I have been following the progress of the book via MEAP and it helped
me a lot in my progress. Unfortunately, the place i work is leaning
towards ADF (JSF), but i use Wicket for my spare time projects and
love it so far. Thanks for the book and the project.

about the a free pdf version: i must agree with Martijn Dashorst. The
PDF is not that expensive and at least you get a PDF along with book.
most other publishers don 't give you this.

Thanks again, Bert

Re: [announce] Wicket in Action e-book has been published!

2008-08-19 Thread Thomas Singer
Maybe my message caused misunderstandings. I was not complaining *that* the 
book costs money. I just was curious why doing it the old-style 
distribution way. Finally, Galileo-Computing also needs to make money to pay 
their book authors.


Personally, I prefer reading a paper book over reading on the display (I 
haven't had the chance to read something on an e-book-reader), but having an 
always-up-to-date online-version which allows fast searching is incredible 
helpful for small problems and hence targets a different use-case. No, the 
wiki is not an adequate alternative.


And yes, I have a rough idea about how much effort writing a book takes, 
because I wrote a 100-pages diploma thesis, an article in the German Java 
Magazin and we always have to maintain our help. No question, writing a 
book in a well understandable style is hard work.

standard, wicket is still an obscure framework, yadayadayada...).
We developed the first 75%  with SEAM. Everything worked great (functionally

structure was too complex (we use maven: we needed 3 different modules to
produce the final ear file).
So, without telling the customer (and without charging them) we ported the
project to wicket. Huge win:
 - Simpler code
  - shorter compile/test cycle (with wicket we're launching the app with
embedded jetty during development)
  - shorted learning curve: it's easier to bring a developer up to speed on
a wicket project that it is on a jboss/seam one.
  - amazing support through the form


I'm not saying SEAM is a bad framework. It might even be better than Wicket,

  Why did you move away from Seam?


 It was a project for one of our clients. They let us pick the technology.
 We
 first selected SEAM because we thought it would be easier for the  client
 to
 take over the code once the app would switch to maintenance mode (JSF is a
 standard, wicket is still an obscure framework, yadayadayada...).
 We developed the first 75%  with SEAM. Everything worked great
 (functionally
 speaking), the client was happy, but the code was hard to follow (xml
 config
 files, triggers, etc.), the compile/test cycles were very long, the project
 structure was too complex (we use maven: we needed 3 different modules to
 produce the final ear file).
 So, without telling the customer (and without charging them) we ported the
 project to wicket. Huge win:
  - Simpler code
  - shorter compile/test cycle (with wicket we're launching the app with
 embedded jetty during development)
  - shorted learning curve: it's easier to bring a developer up to speed on
 a wicket project that it is on a jboss/seam one.
  - amazing support through the form


 I'm not saying SEAM is a bad framework. It might even be better than
 Wicket,
 or better suited for  some environments. But one thing is certain: it's a
 lot more complex to master.

2008-08-14 Thread Ricky
I enjoyed MEAP, and i like how slick and colorful ( ;=)  ) it looks right
now, i havent gone through the whole thing to know what are the major
changes if any from MEAP. IMHO this is a great book, although i'd love to
see a part ii (i dont know how soon that would be considering the effort it
took to have this book out and all the other peripheral issues with it that
i surely do understand =)  ... in particular chapters related to
DataProviders in an ellaborate manner would be cool).

But this book is just awesome!

Great Job Guys!!

Eelco and I are *really*, *really* glad that the journey is finally

We ported an application from JBOSS/SEAM to Wicket in 2 weeks. The app has
been successfully deployed in production.
Although the wiki had all the scode sample we could wish for, and searching
the forum always answered our questions, I'll buy the book to express our
gratitude to the Wicket team.
It's been an awesome experience.
