    Aah, the evening is saved. Have dug into the first chapters already.

    Oh… do I sense a trace of Art Director Humor in the cover selection? Or maybe it’s just me looking forward to my Amsterdam trip next weekend. :-)

    Went through the chapter 1. very nice!

    -Understanding models: I am eager to read this chapter in particular. It took me a while to figure out the wicket models and behaviours. Hope you guys have some images/illustrations on how models work and interact with the rest of the wicket components to help the first time readers.
