DESCRIPTION
Developers increasingly see JavaScript as a proper application language instead of just a tool for spicing up web pages. Ext JS, a mature and stable JavaScript framework, provides the libraries and structure you'll need to write desktop-quality applications for the browser. Better still, because Ext JS elegantly manages much of the boilerplate associated with web development, it minimizes the tedious hand-coded HTML. You'll save time, write better apps, and stay standards-compliant.
Ext JS in Action, Second Edition teaches Ext JS from the ground up. You'll start with a quick overview of the framework and then explore the core components by diving into complete examples, engaging illustrations, and crisp, straightforward explanations. You'll feel like you have an expert guide right at your elbow teaching you important Ext techniques and offering insight into its inner workings. Along the way, you'll learn the best practices for building and scaling full-featured web applications, including how to customize and build Ext widgets.
