Curriculum
My curriculum is customizable depending upon the needs of your class. Perhaps you have already been using Wicket, and you just need some "best practices". Or, perhaps you are looking specifically at integrating Wicket with Spring, Hibernate, ActiveMQ, some JavaScript library, or some other framework. Or, maybe you are completely new to Wicket and want to know everything. No matter what your needs are, I can accommodate them all.
Here are some of the topics that are typically covered, or have been covered with others in the past:
- How to create, structure, and configure your first application
- "The Wicket Way" - the learning curve is quick, but there are some things you need to beware of
- Foundation - many of the standard components that you will use time and time again
- Forms - how to use them, validate them, tell the user what went wrong (or right).
- How do you build your application so that it has a common UI? We can do that. We'll cover the use of several different techniques: Borders, Markup Inheritance, Panels, Fragments, etc.
- ListView, DataTable, Trees, and others - how to present collections of information
- URLs - how to make them "pretty"
- Authentication Techniques
- AJAX - like JavaScript? Great! Hate JavaScript? Even better - we'll build in AJAX functionality without writing a line of JavaScript!
- Ajax Behaviours
- Ajax Page Manipulation
- Modal Windows
- Localization / Internationalisation
- Resources / Dynamic Resources
- Writing Your Own Reusable Components
- Attribute Modifiers
- Spring (or Guice) Integration
- Performance/Scalability
- Detachable Models
- jQuery Integration
If you don't see a topic here that you are looking for, please let me know. I can tailor the class to your needs around just about any topic. If I can't cover the topic (say, for instance, integrating Wicket with your Fortran system), I'll tell you honestly.
