I'm one of the technical reviewers of this book. I can say that I've enjoyed reading every chapter of this book. It is full of examples, suited for both beginners who never developed anything in ExtJS or experts who just want to learn new concepts of ExtJS version 5. Book includes chapters with creating the whole pallet of GUI elements, concepts like MVVM, MVC, and creating reusable code.The chapter I was enjoying the most was "Chapter 4: It's All about the Data", where authors gave a lot of great examples with working with data, AJAX calls, mappers, validators, relationships, etc. For me it is the most valuable part of the book because most of my applications are data-driven.This book has everything one developer needs for creating the enterprise-level software with ExtJS.

Ext JS framework has enormous amount of functionality therefore most beginners would be overwhelmed with that. Although Sencha offers various learning material, learning Ext JS is still a difficult task."Learning Ext JS" is a light in the dark for many beginners who want to get an overview of this huge framework.This book introduces many aspects of the Ext JS, sometimes concisely, and sometimes in detail. Especially, the description of fundamentals (class system, component lifecycle, data packages, etc) is well-organized. I can assure you that you will begin with Ext JS smoothly.Plus, many supplement tips is embedded in a lot of places. It would be useful for not only beginners but also seasoned Ext JS developers.

The book gives a descent overview of the framework, but leaves gapping holes at very important intersections.1.) For instance, not enough detail on MVVM implementation in extjs, it's such a big paradigm shift in ExtJS 5+, but the author only dedicates 2 pages in the book to it. This leaves you needing much more.2.) When considering details on the store...it shows you how to add, remove, filter, getById, but doesn't take a look at how to build additional basic queries. Again, leaving you wanting more.I'm not happy with the book, but it's a shame, that there is so much lacking in terms of learning extjs.
