Abstract
Wicket: Web development the Java way
Wicket is the web framework for developers who like to write and maintain Java code, instead of XML, EL, etc. This presentation will show the simplicity of the Wicket programming model and how it makes use of core Java concepts such as inheritance, unlike other so-called Java web frameworks. The presentation will also show how Wicket’s clean separation of concerns leads to mockup re-use and/or easier collaboration with a web designer.

Abstract
 .
Many development shops have made the leap from RCS, Perforce, ClearCase, PVCS, CVS, BitKeeper or SourceSafe to the modern Subversion (SVN) version control system. But why not take the next massive stride in productivity and get on board with Git, a distributed version control system (DVCS). Jump ahead of the masses staying on Subversion, and increase your team's productivity, debugging effectiveness, flexibility in cutting releases, and repository redundancy at $0 cost. Understand how distributed version control systems are game-changers and pick up the lingo that will become standard in the next few years.
In this talk, we discuss the team changes that liberate you from the central server, but still conform to the corporate expectation that there's a central master repository. You'll get a cheat sheet for Git, and a trail-map from someone who's actually experienced the Subversion to Git transition.
Lastly, we'll even expose how you can leverage 75% of Git's features against a Subversion repository without ever telling your bosses you are using it. Be forewarned that they may start to wonder why you are so much more effective in your checkins than other members of your team.
