In my new series of interviews with Wicket community members I recently caught up with Bruno Borges, a nice Brazilian guy from Rio de Janeiro. Bruno has been around for quite a while now and if I remember correctly visits the Wicket IRC channel on and off (probably when he isn’t lying on Ipanama beach). You can learn more from Bruno and his Wicket adventures in Meet the Wicket Community: Bruno Borges.

Monday, October 27th, 2008Wicket Interview in Brazil
Saturday, July 12th, 2008A couple of months ago Eelco and I were interviewed by Bruno Pereira for a Brazilian Java magazine. Unfortunately for us this interview was done through email, so no carnival for us. Maybe next year 
. You can read the interview here.
I was a Windows client developer used to build GUI’s with Borland’s VCL. Then I had to build web apps using Maverick and Velocity. I hated that experience and constantly asked myself: WHY is this so hard and so much work. Wicket salvaged me from this negative experience: it felt like returning to VCL programming and for the first time I enjoyed
building web apps.
