I have searched the archives for the A4D / ExtJS libraries and am
coming up empty? Does anybody have a link they can share with me
where I can find said libraries.
There are no A4D/Ext libraries as such, there is a JSON library on
the wiki.
I need to get my head around the whole JSON model as well, certainly a
new way of coding (compared to the old "state" method I am used
to). I have done my fair share of AJAX work (in conjunction with
4D / A4D) but I know that JSON is a new beast as well.
Also, there was talk last year about some A4D/ExtJS demos, has
anything been constructed yet?
Not yet, I just finished the Ext project and am catching my breath.
Time for a vacation ;-)
I have a new project starting next week and I am going to do A4D/
ExtJS from the beginning (not going to mess around with the "old
way")
WARNING! There are some issues with Ext and FireFox 2.x.
Specifically, the text cursor does not appear in some text fields.
This will be fixed in FireFox 3, but that is a few months off.
Also, be aware that Ext is a monster. Learning Ext is the equivalent
of programming with Java+Swing. It is a complete GUI toolkit, and as
such it takes a long time to master. It is definitely not for the
faint of heart.
Really, I am glad (and sad) to hear that actually. I have done
quite a bit of reviewing of code etc and it seemed pretty extensive
and exhaustive and I was looking at ways in which I could integrate it
into this upcoming project. I had a plan of how I was going to do
it with native 4D/A4D/AJAX but I then got back onto the ExtJS kick
last month so I have really been trying to get a much better wrap on
how things work (thus the reason for looking for any additional demos,
libraries, etc)
So, if you had to do it all over again, would you still recommend
going with ExtJS?
I am not looking to "cut corners" but more maximize my time
(obviously) yet deliver a modern / polished application.
