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.

Meet the Wicket Community: Nino Martinez Wael

Monday, October 13th, 2008

The Wicket community has grown quite a bit since Wicket’s inception. The core Wicket team is pretty visible through the various blogs and meetups?but the community is more! Meet your fellow Wicketeers and read all about them.

Our first victim is one of Wicket’s most visible supporters: Nino Martinez Wael. Read more about Nino and his experiences with Wicket here.

If you have a couple of follow up questions for Nino, please leave a comment on the blog. I’m sure Nino will be quick to answer them :)

I’ve got a couple more interviews in the basket, so expect more in the coming weeks!

Thank you Nino for being so kind to participate in this interview!

Wicket Interview in Brazil

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

A 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.
