Pro Wicket author Karthik Gurumurthy speaks about “Wicket, Tapestry and JSF side by side” in this video recorded at the Indian IndicThreads conference.
I haven’t watched the whole video, so I will let you be the judge on that. The video is rather low quality and the audio is not too good: it seems like it was not recorded from a microphone in the direct vicinity of Karthik but from somewhere in the audience.
N8than is right… Job trends are boring, but did he know that both the new thing and old thing are just hobbies?
Nick Heudecker, a long time Wicket fan, has written an introductory article about Wicket for TheServerSide. I had the pleasure to read it in advance and I liked it. You should read the article yourself, and comment on the article, or Wicket at TheServerSide forum.
Rejoice! For I have some great news to share…
Wicket in Action’s final chapter has been submitted for editorial review. Eelco has sacrificed his health (stay well my friend!) and worked until 2am to finalize this last chapter.
Bringing the creative parts to completion is like dropping a millstone we have carried around for roughly 2 years. Being relieved of that nagging feeling that you don’t have to finish those 11, 10, 7, 4 and 2 final chapters is really a liberation. Not having to say that you must write, but are able to just ‘wing it’ for a night is such a relief, you can’t imagine…
Note that this doesn’t mean that the final MEAP chapters will come quickly. The publisher does like to let them trickle in over the course of a couple of months until we are chopping trees.
There is something in the air… All kinds of good stuff is happening in the Wicket community… Here’s a recap of the most recent events:
I recently converted a Rails site to Wicket. Wicket really cuts down on template spaghetti code. I can honestly say that wicketâs OO approach is the right way of doing things for web application development.
And we’ve just started 2008, so this will be a big year!
