Description

Sencha Ext JS is an industry leader for business-standard web application development. Ext JS is a leading JavaScript framework that comes with a myriad of components, APIs, and extensive documentation that you can harness to build powerful and interactive applications. Using Ext JS, you can quickly develop rich desktop web applications that are compatible with all major browsers. This book will enable you to build databases using information from an existing database with Ext JS. It covers the MVC application architecture that enables development teams to work independently on one project. Additionally, the book teaches advanced charting capability, enabling developers to create state-of-the-art charts just once. These charts are compatible with major browsers without the need to rely on plugins. This hands-on, practical guide will take you through the mechanics of building an application. In this instance, we will use this application to manage existing data structures in the form of a database. You will begin by making SQL and tables in MySQL and will then move on to developing the project environment and introducing Sencha Cmd. You will learn to create a form to input data and monitor the state of the input, while seeing how Ext Direct will validate the form on the server side. Finally, you will have a working application that is ready for you to customize to suit your needs. You can also use it as a template for any future projects when you need a similar database.

Who is this book for?

If you are an intermediate in Sencha Ext JS, "Ext JS Data-driven Application Design" is the tutorial for you. You need to be familiar with JavaScript and have basic operational knowledge of MySQL. If you want to be able to systematically construct an application from the first step to implementation, this book will be useful for you.

What you will learn

Understand an existing virtual company s data structure, and make SQL and tables in MySQL
Develop the environment of the project while introducing Sencha Cmd and using Ext.util.History at the same time
Create a form to input data and transmit the data to a server via Ext Direct
Discover how to display data and create data searches
Implement a report that displays four different types of graph on the dashboard

In this rather short book (definitely worth the price) you will walk through the steps needed to create a data driven solution using ExtJS.To learn this, the author teaches you to build a sales management database and system.You will learn how to choose entities accordingly (though I believe most of the people coming to this sort of book will already be able to make this happen).You will learn how to build ExtJS controllers to respond to users' requests, needed views and understand the workflow, a "soft" back button to work with the framework and more.One of the major gems you will find in this book is one of the things many people who are new to working with extjs combined with a server is the user of Ext.Direct with php.(Though I'm not a big fan of php! I'd would rather it be written for nodejs..but that's just me)In conclusion this book is definitely a tool for those who want to escalate their knowledge of extjs to the next level and develop products for this growing market.

If you are totally beginner of Ext JS, and want to learn how to implement a real-life application with it, I recommend “Mastering Ext JS“. Because the contents of “Ext JS Data-driven Application Design” is quite unique and I don’t know it’s a best practice or not. That’s why I think it’s not fit for a beginner.The other hand, you have experience of Ext JS app development, and want to learn how to create more quality architecture, this book might be for you. You will learn a new concept and it would be a hint to consider how to create a higher-level applications. I learned many ideas from this book and was inspired.

I read very quickly this book, that is short and condensed. It is a step-by-step guide that drives you through the building of an ExtJS application that interacts with data. It explains how to leverage on ExtJS MVC model for building a robust and easy to mantain application. I appreciated especially the Reporting chapter, where it's explained how to use data for builing charts (that are part of the ExtJS framework).

This book seems to be the first book which attempts to explain step-by-step process to create the whole application using ExtJS. Most of the book often talks about the concept, which at times leaves some of the key aspects of application development and support. After following the book very closely, eventually you get an application and that should give confidence to first timers who want to build their own application.While I had a bit high expectation from the book, I must say that the overall presentation is pretty average. I found that words used in the book were often the synonyms which I am not very used to. So, it took some time to have appropriate mapping of words with the concept. At times I felt as if the author has put some incorrect word. However, after reading couple of chapter it was clear that instead of creating a class the author is making a class. Also, I wanted to build the application incrementally and it took time to understand the incremental changes and put them into main project.Some of the statements were so casual that I was wondering what was the need for putting that statement. For example in one of the place the author says “It has been a while since we saw an image, so we’ve displayed a column for now; however, let’s start to create the necessary objects for this list.”.Of course I am passionate about Sencha ExtJS and after going through this book at times I felt that the reader will get an impression that the ExtJS is something difficult to grasp and master. The presentation of content could have been much better. I would have liked to see the basic concepts of an application being explained and then make use of that concept to give the readers the step-by-step process for creating an application. I felt that there was too much to-and-fro and reference to Component Testing again and again was a killer.You can read my complete review comment on below URL:http://blogs.walkingtree.in/2014/01/31/extjs-data-driven-book-review/

I am very disappointed with Packet Publishing for put out a book that can only be described as a half finished effort. The example files do not work as described by the book. The sentence structure is very hard to follow.
