First of all: Great work, great quality!
Comments:
- you can shortly introduce Wicket: "Wicket is an open source java web
application framework"
- use automatic import from eclipse, no need to import yourself
(ctrl-shift-o)
- just start typing "HelloWorld extends WebPage" and press <ctrl-space> to
import the correct class.
- same for the label: add(new Label<ctrl-space>
- editing the markup file: talk about the wicket:id when you add it to the
tag ("the wicket identifier must be the same as the identifier in the java
file. this way Wicket knows which part of the markup to render the hello
world text in")
- editing the web.xml: use copy paste to speed up editing the file :)
Overall: great quality, perhaps we should tune down the size of the download
(higher compression?).
For future examples/screencasts: don't throw away the existing files, but
reuse them. This will keep your viewers tuned in.
I like it!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!
