Blog on my experiences learning Wicket

[Brian Lavender <br...@brie.com>]

Hello everyone, 

I have been blogging regarding my experience using Wicket based upon my
experience learning Wicket using the "Wicket in Action" book by Dashorst
et al. using different takes or perhaps just my experience breaking down
the examples from the book. In others, I do a simple additions. My issue
with the book code is that it is in just one big example and it was not
clear how to me how to break out the pieces. Since the example code is 
Apache license, I just hacked them differently releasing with the same
license. I of errors, so please comment if you find that things aren't
quite right.

Thus far, my blog entries focus on a simple project importable into Eclipse
and runnable using Maven. You can either download each sample referencing the blog
entry, or just download and hack them directly.

And yes, my blog uses Wordpress, not Wicket quite yet.

If you are going to make your blog out of Wicket, you might want to consider using Brix (http://www.brixcms.org).  It welds a NoSQL document database to Wicket, along with some basic page management functionality, providing the most important parts of a content management system to Wicket, which of course provides the best of component-oriented web development in Java.  

In the end, you get a content management system with dynamic components that are written the Wicket way.  Imagine your HTML being stored in a database that is accessible to non-technical folks, without losing the power of Wicket components.  That's Brix!

If you check it out, the Brix demo app is a great place to start.

Congrats on your work and welcome to Wicket!

Cheers, Brian
