    Five things…

    A couple of days ago I had a discussion on what would be the five libraries a developer should have had a good look at. This naturally is depending on what type of programming you’re focusing on, so you will seldom get the same list by two different developers.

    Let’s define some base parameters: web application development with the JVM as targeted platform (choose your poison: Java, Scala, …). Here’s my list and some hints on why I think them more worth than one look:

    Some Wicke[dt] Scala

    Apache Wicket is a cool web framework to develop with. I’m in that business for some time now and I still haven’t found any nicer – really! JSF is no match at all, and since I’m doing most of my programming in Scala I’d taken a brief look at Lift. But that’s not mine, either. Everything in Wicket is ad-hoc reusable, that’s what I like best about it. And I think of Wicket and Scala as the perfect combination to develop with: Scala’s traits allow adding and overriding things so easy to Wicket components that it’s just a joy!
