Enjoying Web Development with Wicket, 2/e (Paperback)

If you'd like to create AJAX web-based applications easily, then this book is for you. More importantly, it shows you how to do that with joy and feel good about your own work! You don't need to know servlet or JSP while your productivity will be much higher than using servlet or JSP directly. This is possible because we're going to use a library called Wicket (this book covers Wicket 1.4.x.) that makes complicated stuff simple and elegant.

How does it do that? First, it allows the web designer to work on the static contents and design of a page while allowing the developer to work on the dynamic contents of that page without stepping on each other's toes; Second, it allows developers to work with high level concepts such as objects and properties instead of HTTP URLs, query parameters or HTML string values; Third, it comes with powerful components such as calendar, tree and data grid and it allows you to create your own components for reuse in your own project.

However, don't take our word for it! This book will quickly walk you through real world use cases to show you how to use Wicket and leave it up to you to judge. Sample chapters are available on the book website at agileskills2.org.

如果您想輕鬆地創建基於 AJAX 的網頁應用程式，那麼這本書就是為您而寫的。更重要的是，它會教您如何以愉悅的心情完成工作並對自己的成果感到滿意！您不需要了解 servlet 或 JSP，但使用這本書所介紹的 Wicket 庫（本書涵蓋 Wicket 1.4.x 版本）將大大提高您的生產力，使複雜的事情變得簡單而優雅。

它是如何做到這一點的呢？首先，它允許網頁設計師在頁面的靜態內容和設計上進行工作，同時允許開發人員在該頁面的動態內容上進行工作，而不會互相干擾；其次，它允許開發人員使用高級概念（如對象和屬性）而不是 HTTP URL、查詢參數或 HTML 字符串值；第三，它提供了強大的組件，如日曆、樹狀結構和數據網格，並允許您創建自己的組件以便在自己的項目中重複使用。

然而，不要只聽我們的話！這本書將迅速通過實際應用案例引導您學習如何使用 Wicket，並由您來評斷。書籍網站 agileskills2.org 上提供了示例章節供您參考。
