If you'd like to create web-based applications easily, then this book is for you. More importantly, it shows you how to do that with joy and feel good about your own work! You don't need to know servlet or JSP while your productivity will be much higher than using servlet or JSP directly. This is possible because we're going to use a library called Wicket that makes complicated stuff simple and elegant.

Sample chapters are available on the book website at books.ttdev.com. This book covers Wicket 7.0 and 6.x.

This book will quickly walk you through real world use cases to show you how to use Wicket. The manuscript of book has been used to train up a team of programmers who had not used Java or written any program at all. The training took only a few months (six hours per week). Now they are developing a core application for their organization using Wicket, Spring and Hibernate.
