I bought the first edition of this book for a project and because of the quality and the addition of more ColdFusion examples picked up this edition. It provides a great overview and supplement to the Ext API documentation with plenty of examples of implemented most of the functionality of Ext (now Sencha). Ext is a deep Javascript framework that is fairly easy to get started with but also a pretty steep learning curve for more complex applications and this book will take you pretty far down the road to mastery.
Looking forward to an advanced book that is similar in quality but that provides a more in depth example of how to architect a complex application using the library.

I like this book. It has some great examples and is well written. My complaint about it is that it doesn't really start from the ground up with JavaScript. I'm pretty comfortable with programming. This is not my first language, but there is something about JavaScript. I think it's how they do bracketing. It just doesn't click with me, and the book just kind of jumped in on code. I was able to decipher by example, but sometimes it's just nice to have that soft start and quickly ramp up.

Most revision 2's of books I've read are just a little cleaning up and republishing the same stuff just to make some more money. These guys, really put a lot of new material here covering much of what was missing from the first book (partly because it was not out yet in the earlier versions of ExtJS). Things like Ext.Direct and graphing are new and covered well.
I strongly recommend this book!

Bad Update of Learning Ext JS
After 4 chapters, I'm giving up and starting on J Garcia's Ext JS In Action. After 4 chapters, it is too much work getting the code solutions to match the book. Read more
