A good book to get you started on Wicket! Jun 28, 2008
By David Allison
I bought the PDF version of this book. It provided an excellent introduction to Wicket. Wicket is based on a different paradigm (components and events rather than request/response and actions) to most Java web frameworks so the learning curve can be quite steep. This book covered everything I needed to know to really get going with Wicket in a straightforward and easy to understand manner.
I would recommend this book for anyone looking to learn about Wicket.

A good running start Jun 28, 2008
By Douglas Allen
I bought the PDF version of this book and was really impressed with the down to earth meat and potatoes examples approach that this book uses in getting you up to speed with Wicket really fast.
This book will be more suited to busy corporate developers who will need to get practical answers to how you do common everyday things with Wicket via the numerous working examples and reasonable explanations as to why things work the way they do in Wicket.
The reason I didn't give this book a five is that the section on AJAX needed to be a bit clearer and should have had detailed explanations on the theory behind Wicket's AJAX strategy. I also needed more details on the use of Wicket's AJAX components. The book could also do with a section on creating custom Wicket Components.
You won't find anything on the use of Wicket annotations in this book as it's based on Wicket 1.3. Wicket annotations are available in the more recent Wicket 1.4 release.
Overall, this is a well put together book that is very easy to read and follow.

Easy start book for wicket Jul 16, 2008
By Shankar B. Kolinjavadi
This book is currently the best among wicket books. The tutorial style will get you going and for someone able to construct the rudimentary examples in the book, the next steps should not be too bad. Dont expect the small apps in the book to be like real life sites. They are simple and are directed towards grasping one or two concepts. Pages filled with summaries could be avoided, no one is taking tests. If you want to learn this framework and you have a lot of java web exposure, this book is for you.

For people who want to get going with Wicket Jul 01, 2008
By Sualeh Fatehi

I bought a couple of books on Wicket when I first started learning it, and Enjoying Web Development with Wicket was by far the best one. It is task oriented, and systematically builds up on the development of a web application. If you are already familiar with Java and web technologies, this book will get you very rapidly ramped up on Wicket, and answer your most commonly asked questions as you go along.

No better place to start learning Wicket Jun 28, 2008
By Victor Lee
This is a "learn by doing" book. Theory is kept to a minimum and all the material is illustrated by tutorial-style examples. The examples are small yet practical enough to be useful in real projects. You may not be a Wicket expert after reading the book, but you will definitely be able to build real-life Wicket projects.
The code examples are very well written. They are easy to understand and contain extremely few mistakes. As a new comer to Wicket with little Java experience, I can actually follow the examples with little difficulties.
The major weakness of this book is also its advantage: lack of theory. You may need to read some more books later to beef up your theoretical understanding. But to jumpstart your Wicket project, I know of no better place than this book.
