Ext JS in Action

Author: Jesus Garcia

What’s inside

Ext JS in Action teaches the reader about Ext from the ground up. By following the common design patterns demonstrated in the Ext source and in many commercial applications, the book teaches you to achieve the same results you see in world-class commercial JavaScript applications.

This book will guide you through the Ext component model and layouts. You’ll learn how core components, such as the Container class, serve as building blocks for building complex user interfaces. The book fully covers Ext utility classes, AJAX, Observable (the Ext events model), DOM helpers and Function Helpers and illustrates how use of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), a powerful and lightweight data format, can allow your application to efficiently communicate over the network to the web server. Finally, you’ll build on this foundation to customize or extend Ext widgets.

Who this book is written for

Ext JS in Action assumes that you have a solid foundation in JavaScript, but requires no previous exposure to Ext JS.

Using a pragmatic approach, in this book you’ll dissect seven full–fledged applications, covering how Ext JS allows you to create these applications with a slick user interface with a minimum of effort.  You will also learn how the other parts of Ext JS aside from the GUI widgets provide many of the capabilities modern applications need, such as Ajax and data mechanisms, and how Gears can be brought in to make the applications more powerful.

Among the applications covered are an organizer, a timekeeper, a code cabinet and a game.

Who this book is written for

This book is written for web application developers, senior project leads, and application architects.
