Pax Wicket Tutorial

This page explains how I see we could develop a tutorial for Pax Wicket.

The goal should be to introduce pax-wicket in stages, rather than to dump everything on the user at once.

 We could introduce topics, with code examples, in the following order:

  1. Goals of pax-wicket
    1. Wicket is good, but is not component based. Very briefly explain the shortcomings of this (main explanation should be left to actual "docs").
    2. Brief overview of the whiteboard pattern, and how it can be applied to wicket from a high-level perspective.
  2. Getting the application up and running.
  3. Attaching a "hello word" page to the application.
  4. Mounting the hello world page.
  5. Adding additional pages to the application that use a common border.
  6. Adding content to a page (move out the hello word label into its own content/container).
  7. Adding additional contents to the page.
  8. Adding child content to the content.
  9. Making different "hello world" components in various languages. The "correct" one appears depending on some config value.
  10. Make a component available in more than one section, in more than one application.
