Wicket is on the Google Open Source blog

The latest London Wicket get-together has been featured on the Google Open Source blog. Check it out for links to photos, etc. I’ve also put up some presentations and code samples from the event, including our dynamic AJAX image-cropper component.

London Wicket User Group is today!

If you’re in England and you’re reading this over your morning coffee, fresh off your RSS feeds, it’s your last chance to sign up for today’s London Wicket User Group, held at Google, next to Victoria station.

I’m going to show you how to make a dynamic AJAX-powered image cropper, just like the one you get in Photoshop™ and similar tools. Mmmm, shiny. Ian’s going to be looking at Dojo integration. There will be plenty of time for some chat and networking, and we’ll grab a couple of beers afterwards. See you there!

londonwicket.org gets some love and some code

The londonwicket.org site has had a bit of an overhaul. I’ve put up the slides and code from my recent AJAX drag & drop generic list editor talk, given at the previous London Wicket Users’ Group meet-up.

The previous meet-up went really well, with about forty people turning up. It was successful enough that Google are going to host us again on April 2. Have a look at the site for details, registration, etc.

Google UK to host Apache Wicket User Group on Feb 6

I’ve recently started work as a developer at Google UK. We’re going to be hosting the upcoming Wicket London User Group on February 6th. It’s looking very popular already, with nearly thirty people registered so far. If you want to come, you’ll need to sign up here, as we need your names for the front desk.

We’re going to have three short presentations followed by a quick QA session. I’ll be presenting a talk on AJAX list editors, complete with sample code you can take away with you. Ian Godman’s going to talk about the new security framework for Wicket that he is open sourcing.

We’ll have people of all levels coming along, but you’ll get more out of the event if you’ve at least had a bit of a play with Apache Wicket first. I have a quickstart screencast elsewhere on this site, and there are plenty of excellent resources linked from the main Wicket site to help you get going. Alternatively, visit us on IRC or the mailing lists for help - we’re all very friendly. Hope to see you there!

Syntax highlighting fixed

I recently moved this blog and broke the syntax highlighting for code inclusions on the way. This is now fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
