Last November I attended the Øredev conference in Malmö and was given the opportunity to present Wicket to a (mostly) Scandinavian audience. Øredev is different from all other conferences I’ve attended because it has different tracks other than web and Java. There was a Cool languages track, a Domain Driven Design track, a .Net track, a Mobile track and of course a Java track.
I delivered a newer version of the introduction to Wicket presentation and the audience gave me a 4.22 rating (52×5 points, 33×3 and 0×1 points). Øredev will publish recorded videos of the sessions at a later time (I’m anxiously awaiting at least 2 presentations) so you can see my performance yourself. In the mean time you can take a look at the slides on slideshare (you’ll have to imagine my voice for now) or watch them inline below.

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.
