ExtJS Business Spotlight

Business Value of Using Sencha Ext JS

Ext JS offers an environment that is completely extensible and does not box developers into corners. It’s a core part of our product strategy because it allowed us to migrate our team of Java developers to an HTML5 based project faster and more efficiently. We got our team up to speed quickly using the extensive, high quality documentation. We didn’t face challenges of having to use disparate 3rd party controls and competing core programming models. Our initial prototype was delivered in much less time than it would have been using other JavaScript frameworks, and we were able to create a clean and modern UI. By using Ext JS, we were able to get our initial product to beta sooner which allowed us to get user feedback early in the cycle saving us time and money beyond the pure productivity gains offered by the framework.

Our Advice to New Developers

Ext JS will make it easy to develop your applications. It’s tempting to jump in and start writing your application immediately because the framework is so approachable. We recommend that you spend some time up front reviewing the examples and the documentation. Take advantage of the MVC convention that is built into Ext JS because it will minimize the code you write. If you find yourself writing a lot of code, it’s likely that you have missed some of the core capabilities and best practices of the framework. The event handling, CSS compilation, and other features of the framework should be invested in and understood at the onset of your project because using these capabilities will save you a huge amount of time over the long run.

ExtJS 4 with Spring MVC Example

Introduction When developing a brand new application for the company I work for, one of the first thing I implement is "authentication". Not only is this process generally a prerequisite to access many other functions but it is also very simple and covers every layer of an application, from GUI to the database. So instead of another minimalistic "Hello World" tutorial, here is a "Login/Password" example, using 2 famous technologies : Spring MVC and ExtJS 4.   Prerequisites Because this tutorial is quite long, I won't go into the details of each technology I used but I will mainly focus on how ExtJS and Spring can be nicely used together. So here are the things you should know before continuing : Spring framework (good knowledge) Spring MVC (basic knowledge. See  Spring MVC Official Documentation  for details) ExtJS "application architecture" (see  Sencha Docs  for details) Eclipse IDE + Tomcat 6 (or any other web container) You a...
