Almost 3 years of hard work, loosing friends, moving abroad, marrying lovely wives, late nights, early mornings, frustrated family, and all other bad (and good) things that cross one's life is now rewarded with the availability of the e-book edition of Wicket in Action. The print edition (also know as dead-tree edition) will be available in just over 2 weeks (estimated at Aug 29th).
Eelco and I are *really*, *really* glad that the journey is finally over. We think it was worth it. Now we leave the book in your capable hands to make beautiful applications that make your boss and customers happy and we are sure you'll enjoy creating them. Eelco Hillenius & Martijn Dashorst About Wicket in Action Wicket in Action is a comprehensive guide for Java developers building Wicket-based web applications. It introduces Wicket's structure and components, and moves quickly into examples of Wicket at work. Written by core committers, this book shows you the "how-to" and the "why" of Wicket. You'll learn to use and customize Wicket components, to interact with Spring and Hibernate, and to implement rich Ajax-driven features.
