Format:Paperback
This book is a good introduction to EXT JS. It will teach you the basics and help to get you familiar with writing code in EXT JS and learning the basic syntax. The examples are helpful and most are easy to follow. This book is an introduction because it does not go into much detail about building a complex web application but it will give you the confidence to continue researching and learning EXTJS on your own.
I would recommend this book to anyone that has some experience in programming that is looking to start coding in EXT JS. Just dont expect it to teach you everything there is to know, it is more of a stepping stone.
Overall, if you are just getting into EXT JS and want a good book to get you started this is the one.

Ext JS on-line documentation is helpful if you know how to use it. The problem is that is not always straight-forward. There is a good deal of frustration when you can't get it...
This book is easy to follow. It has simple but very valuable examples, so you can use them as a base and then apply advanced features to your code on the fly.
I wished I'd had this book when I started learning Ext JS. Have fun...

Not so helpful in the real world.
It's great for learning in the box techniques. Once you get a server-side project in the real world your still left wondering how?

I found this book hugely disappointing. While this book does contain useful information it is nothing that can't be found easily in free tutorials and forum posts. Read more
