First thing first, while everyone agrees that a good documentation is a good thing, you should consider that you don't pay anyone to write it. There are a couple of very good books about Wicket you can purchase at Amazon. And the Wicket examples library is really nice to understand how Wicket works and understand the best practices and how you should build your application. It took me a couple of hours to start developing my first components with Wicket, mainly by reading the examples. Probably less than the time you spent writing your emails. > http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0.4/Home > http://tapestry.apache.org/documentation.html I don't know these 2 frameworks and they might (or might not) have a better documentation than Wicket. The quality of a documentation isn't measured by the number of pages. You measure it by the time you spend learning the framework and how useful it is. > https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuide Well, while you might think at first glance GWT documentation is better, you're definitely wrong. And, considering the number of misarchitectured GWT applications I studied (and helped getting them fixed) for our customers, I'm pretty sure it's not that easy to get it right from the documentation. > http://www.springsource.org/spring-framework#documentation Spring is a framework. Compare with the Spring MVC documentation if you want to compare Wicket's documentation with something. That said, I agree that Spring MVC documentation is really good but what really helps to understand the best practices is the sample applications developed by SpringSource. Really try to start learning Wicket by using the available documentation and especially http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/index.html and you'll see that it's efficient and a good starting point to learn the framework. If you don't want to give it a try and see by yourself, well, it's your choice. But before complaining about the quality of the documentation available, please consider reading it. -- Guillaume --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
