Upcoming book review: Ext JS 3.0 Cookbook
Category books
Packt Publishing, the same publisher who approached Marie Scott about writing a book about Sametime, has also asked me to review one of their recently released titles, Ext JS 3.0 Cookbook. Long time readers of this blog know that I'm a huge fan of the Ext JavaScript framework, but until now I've never actually read a book specifically about the framework... everything I've learned about it has been gleaned from their API documentation and "the Google". But the reviewer copy arrived yesterday and, having only browsed the table of contents so far, I can't wait to dig in. In particular, I'm hoping to pick up some tricks for writing plugins and class extensions - after all, while the library on its own allows a developer to quickly crank out beautiful web applications, the true power of the framework lies in its inherent extensibility.
If, like me, you're a fan of the framework - or think you might become one if you had a good resource to bring you up to speed on getting the most out of it - let me know in the comments or via email if there are any specific items you'd like me to keep an eye out for in the book's content and report on.
