Wicket in Action

A comprehensive guide for Java developers building Wicket-based web applications

Meet the Wicket Community: Jeremy Thomerson

November 12th, 2008 by dashorst

In the continuing series of interviews with the Wicket community, I was fortunate to interview Jeremy Thomerson and to meet him in person at ApacheCon US 2008 in New Orleans. Jeremy Thomerson As I expected, Jeremy is really a great guy (just as Bruno Borges, whom I also had the honor to meet in person).

Jeremy develops the Wicket based website “Texas Hunt Fish“, one of the long standing public facing websites using Wicket. And he is giving training for Wicket which you can book through wickettraining.com. If you want to learn more about Jeremy’s style, just browse the Wicket user list archives or read his
blog and see how he’s doing. If I didn’t write the book about Wicket, I’d hire Jeremy to teach me :) I’m honored to share this interview with Jeremy with you.

Wicket In Action glues the areas of web development with Apache Wicket together and gives a great overview of Apache Wicket...it will make a great compendium.
