Eelco and I are really happy to announce the availability of our first
two chapters of our forthcoming book "Wicket in Action".
Chapter 1 is a FREE(!) download for users that subscribe to our new
Apache Wicket user list. First send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and then proceed to download chapter
1 here:

The book is available through the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP),
which means that you can buy the book right now, and get access to new
chapters as soon as Eelco and I have finished them. When the book is
finished you will receive the full blown marked up e-version, or if
you prefer (and at some extra cost) in a dead tree format.
Chapters 1 and 3 are already available, with chapters 2 and 4
following shortly (within one or two weeks). The other chapters will
be available a bit later, as they still need to be converted from the
Wicket 2.0 constructor change back to Wicket 1.3 (yes we suffer too
from our mistakes!)
Wicket in Action is an authoritative, comprehensive guide for Java
developers building Wicket-based web applications. This book starts
with an introduction to Wicket's structure and components, and moves
quickly into examples of Wicket at work. Written by two of the
project's earliest and most authoritative experts, this book shows you
both the "how-to" and the "why" of Wicket. As you move through the
book, you'll learn to use and customize Wicket components, how to
interact with other technologies like Spring and Hibernate, and how to
build rich, Ajax-driven features into your applications.
Here is the full list of chapters for Wicket in Action:
1 What is Wicket? (MEAP, FREE)
2 The architecture of Wicket
3 Setting up a Wicket project (MEAP)
4 Building a cheesy Wicket application
5 Understanding models

10 Creating rich components
11 Authorization and authentication

We hope you will enjoy this book!
