Pro Wicket (Expert's Voice in Java) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book several months ago and walked through the chapters. The authors did a poor job of explaining items and rushed into printed code examples without describing citing what was going on. The book's sentences all make sense but don't fit well together.
The Wicket framework itself is good, but this book is not. I've read an early access copy of Wicket in Action which does a much better job. Buy that instead.
