Andrew Lombardi

Owner, Mystic Coders - Entrepreneur

Andrew Lombardi is one of a new breed of businessmen: the enlightened entrepreneur. He has been writing code since he was a 5-year old, sitting at his dad’s knee at their Apple II computer. Having such a deep affinity for the computer model, it is no surprise that at the age of 17 he began to delve deeply into the inner workings of the human mind. He became a student of Neuro Linguistic Programming and other mind technologies, and then went on to study metaphysics. He is certified as an NLP Trainer, Master Hypnotherapist and Time Line Therapy practitioner.

Using all of his accumulated skills, at the age of 24, Andrew began his consulting business, Mystic Coders, LLC. Since the inception of Mystic in 2000, Andrew has been building the business and studying finance and economics as he stays on the cutting edge of computer technology.

As many of you know, I’ve been in Ireland since last Saturday June 5th, 2010. I was invited here to speak at The Irish Software Show. Both of my talks were on Thursday about Apache Wicket, and each of them were well receive more »

The model supplied by Java Web Frameworks is broken. As software engineers break away from the shackles of Struts and the false promises of JSF, a new model based on object oriented programming and a clean separation of concerns has emerged with Apache Wicket. The framework has a simple component hierarchy allowing for reusability without pain.



This session looks at the core aspects that Wicket provides. Walk through the basic components and concepts and peer into an example app built using Wicket. Get insights into the differences between it and two other popular Java frameworks: JSF and GWT. Learn how Wicket embraces the object oriented concepts you haven't been able to use in web frameworks in the past, and have fun in the process.


Hands on with Apache Wicket

Apache Wicket injects fun back into your web application development. The in-depth look went over the components and concepts of Wicket while showing the clear alternative that it provides. Our advanced talk took you through the simple process of interactivity using Wicket's AJAX support and proved that reuse while often promised with other frameworks, is a reality here.



In this hands on, we'll take what was learned in the previous two sessions, and build our own application. Given a project requirement which will be provided, build out a web application in record time using simply Java and HTML. Find out how simple it is to introduce interactivity with Wicket's AJAX support, jazz up your boring forms, and integrate any necessary third party libraries: Java or Javascript, with ease. After this hands on session you'll feel equipped to build out any project in record time using everything learned.
