HIGHLIGHT

An example-rich tutorial that shows developers how to implement the Ext JS

JavaScript framework and use it to easily develop rich internet applications.

DESCRIPTION

Ext JS is a JavaScript library that is particularly appealing to corporate developers

trying to develop web applications that behave like desktop applications.

It combines an extensive library of widgets, an intuitive, extensible

component model, and an easy-to-use API that facilitates development of

line-of-business apps.

Ext JS in Action is an easy-to-follow, hands-on tutorial. Building on readers'

foundations in JavaScript, it presents common design patterns to guide readers

through the Ext component model and layouts. The book covers Ext JS 3.0 and

3.1, including object-oriented JavaScript with Ext, Ajax, form building, event

handling, network communication, debugging, and more. Later chapters

demonstrate extending widgets to add custom functionality.
