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.

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.
Some quotes of early access reviewers:
"Finally, the Web Framework of web framework, Apache Wicket, now has a
bible of its own." - Per Ejeklint
"Without question, Wicket in Action... is the be-all and end-all when
it comes to Wicket." - Geertjan Wielenga
"Wicket In Action glues the areas of web development with Apache
Wicket together and gives a great overview of Apache Wicket...it will
make a great compendium." - Nino Martinez Wael
