To the original question, as confirmed by others ExtJS and node will work fine. I have used extJS in the past, ended up moving on from it so I thought I would post about my experience. Basically, I found it to be a very heavy weight client side framework - does a lot of things for you, but makes a lot of decisions that you might have wanted to do differently. I was disappointed in the GUI generator -- at the time it appeared to have some bugs or limitations, and I ended up having to ditch it and write my own javascript code, in the framework that ExtJS wanted. All of this made me think that maybe instead of trying to hide my CSS inabilities I ought to buckle down and just learn it better.
I've now switched to a much lighter-weight assemblage of client side tools that I am quite happy with: Backbone.js (view and data handling), jQuery (of course), jQuery data tables (a fine replacement for extJS data grids), bootstrap CSS, and an additional bootstrap CSS template with lots of ready to use widgets ( http://themeforest.net/item/katniss-premium-admin-template/3878281). On the server side, the usual: node, express, jade. I'm using mongodb for the database; could of course be a SQL database but boy oh boy is implementing the database layer a lot easier in mongodb. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
