The 50 fastest growing technology companies in the Netherlands is a competition where the relative revenue growth over the last 5 years are taken into account and companies ranked accordingly.
In 2004 my company (Topicus) was number 1, even above tomtom. Even after 4 years we are still in the top 50 of fastest growing companies in the Netherlands and can now use the title of “Sustainable Grower”. This is a great testatement to the management and employees of Topicus.
Even though this is something special, I’d like to point out that at least 4 companies in the fast 50 are using Wicket in their day to day business: Topicus, Servoy (#8 in the top 50, congratulations!), Xebia and Hippo. In my not so humble opinion, using Wicket gives them a competitive advantage. The fact that Topicus is the Sustainable Grower (Topicus is a long time supporter and contributor to Wicket) provides ample evidence.
Long story short: Wicket is good for our companies, why don’t you use it yet?
With this book, Wicket will become the greatest territory the Dutch have settled since Manhattan.

Wicket is an innovative evolution of the MVC programming with simple roots, but without a primer such as this, it can be more challenging than it needs to be.
