ExtJS is not part of Pyjamas or GWT. It is a very advanced and powerful toolkit but doesn't compare well with jQuery (which is just a library). They serve different purposes. jQuery is for websites while ExtJS is for web-applications. There is some overlap, but most people don't need or want a layout manager or datagrid on their blog.
With regard to GWT, there is a ExtGWT which is a GWT-like implementation of ExtJS. Basically you do all your ExtJS programming in Java. There is nothing like this for Python at present. (Pyjamas sort of fills this niche, but it doesn't use ExtJS.) As far as money, the company behind ExtJS is shady on licensing. The clear cut stuff is this: 1) If your project is under an approved Open Source License, then you may use ExtJS for free under the GPLv3 license 2) If your project is not under an approved open source license, then they require that you purchase a developers license 3) If 2 is true and you wish to bundle ExtJS with your product such that the users of your product will be developers using ExtJS, they require an OEM license. Massimo, I'm interested to hear how things go. -tim On Nov 30, 9:34 am, Thadeus Burgess <thade...@thadeusb.com> wrote: > ext js is nice, however their more advanced features cost money?
