People seem to have problems getting started with Wicket using the Maven 2 archetype quickstart. In an effort to make this as obvious as possible, I’ve created a screencast showing you how to do it, explaining each step in detail along the way. It’s done from a pretty-much virgin installation, so there are no bits of magic here.

Upcoming jWeekend Wicket training courses
Posted September 7, 2007 by AlastairTagged As: | Categories: Apache Wicket | 2 Comments
Cemal and I have been working hard refining jWeekend’s upcoming Getting Started With Apache Wicket 1.3 and Apache Wicket 1.3 courses. They’re scheduled for September 22nd and September 29th-30th respectively.
They’re an excellent way to get up to speed with Wicket and develop an in-depth understanding of Models, Behaviors, the AJAX functionality, advanced validation, etc., etc. As such, they will be useful to you whether you’re a beginner or a fairly seasoned Wicket programmer, so I’d encourage you to visit the jWeekend site for more information and to see just what you’ll be getting. We’ll be using the latest 1.3.0-beta3, so you’ll be brought bang up-to-date and ready to develop against the imminent 1.3.0 final release.

I’ve put together some interesting material on making really shiny forms with Wicket. I’ll be presenting it tomorrow at the fourth London Wicket Users Group event, which is being hosted by Skills Matter in Clerkenwell. See the jWeekend registration page for more details.

The recent talk I did at the last London Wicket event and Wednesday’s Java Web User Group is now available on-line (12Mb, Quicktime H264, plays fine under Linux using VLC or MPlayer).
There’s also a ready to run Maven 2 + Eclipse quickstart available to accompany it (built against Wicket 1.3.0-beta2).
Wicket comes to the London Java Web User Group
Posted August 13, 2007 by AlastairTagged As: | Categories: Apache Wicket | 6 Comments
Cemal, Matt and I are doing some talks at the London Java Web User Group on Wednesday.
Although it’s billed as an introduction, I’m going to cover some slightly more advanced stuff so that people can see just how powerful Wicket is, including a properly useful and reusable generic POJO editor in only a few tens of lines of code.
Hope to see you there!
