[Casalogic][1] has sold me for a Java development project, where I’m going to develop a system for the Healthcare sector. I’m going to use several cool technologies, like [Scrum][2], [Hybernate3][3], [MySQL5][4], [Wicket][5] and [Spring][6]. Some of them I have tried before, but some of them I have only read about. So it’s going to be very interesting.
I’ve just learned something about the [Wicket][5] framework today, and it really looks great. Wicket is an web application framework, like [Struts][7], [JSF][8] etc. It offers the separation of core UI (HTML) and functionality, which you would expect, keeping the numbers of “propritary” HTML tags at a minimum. That way the UI part is clean and without “complex” concerns such as loops, conditions etc. All that goes into the Java part which you model like the [Swing Component Model][9].
