There are dozens of Java frameworks out there, but most of them require
you to learn special coding techniques and new, often rigid, patterns of
development. Wicket is different. As a component-based Web application
framework, Wicket lets you build maintainable enterprise-grade web
applications using the power of plain old Java objects (POJOs), HTML,
Ajax, Spring, Hibernate and Maven. Wicket automatically manages state at
the component level, which means no more awkward HTTPSession objects.
Its elegant programming model enables you to write rich web applications
quickly.
Wicket in Action is an authoritative, comprehensive guide for Java
developers building Wicket-based Web applications. This book starts with
an introduction to Wicket's structure and components, and moves quickly
into examples of Wicket at work. Written by two of the project's
earliest and most authoritative experts, this book shows you both the
how-to and the why of Wicket. As you move through the book, you'll learn
to use and customize Wicket components, how to interact with other
technologies like Spring and Hibernate, and how to build rich,
Ajax-driven features into your applications.
Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and
Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.
