Wicket in Action in stores now!

Jonathan Locke was kind enough to spot a physical copy of Wicket in Action in a Barnes and Noble book store. I never thought that having a physical copy of a book would be so rewarding and make the book that more real. Writing a book, getting it published by a publisher and seeing it in stores is something really special that can’t be captured in words. It is bigger than writing your thesis. I’m not sure if it is more rewarding than writing your weekly TPS report though.

Now if I can find my stapler… I must have left it somewhere… Milton!!!!!

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.

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.
