      <description>I would assume the lib is ExtCoreTL? at the following path:

      <description>same here Mark, i&#8217;ve taken a look at the github link posted by Ted but is in no way obvious how you use the contents as a typlib.

I think it would be really useful if Ted could post a comment on how he got the extjs typlib working and where he got it from.

      <description>Well, I can find everything but extjs typelibraries.&amp;nbsp; Everyone else appears to be represented, but extjs is not, as far as I can see:

Dojo 1.6
EcmaScript Ed. 5 api updates
HTML Canvas 2D API
jQuery 1.4
jQuery Mobile 1.0 Alpha 4.1 (Requires JQuery Type lib)
JSON
Node.js 0.4</description>

      <description>It s really funny to see a former Java, Flex developer  trying to promote a solution based on JavaScript.
Companies like Google wont be creating stuff like Closure, GWT and latelly Dart if JavaScript was a half  decent platform to build on. But what do they know</description>

      <description>@Cristian The Ext extention is experimental in the github repo here https://github.com/vjetteam/vjet/tree/ext_experimental

Regarding the &#8220;commercial post&#8221;, I can understand your perspective from an intermediate to advanced developer point of view, the post was my first steps with Ext JS. We are seeing lots of new developers coming to Sencha from other languages and my learning experience is helpful to them. 

That said, I am very interested in seeing the larger Sencha community contribute intermediate and advanced articles to the Sencha blog. If you are interested in writing an articles, please reach out to me at ted.patrick &#45;at&#45; sencha.com. Regards. Ted</description>

You mention VJET+ExtJS. But the link that you posted does not contain any details on how to install the ExtJS extension. There are only details about VJET&#8230; 
I agree with Paipai &#45; this is just a commercial post without real value.</description>

      <description>@John Internally we are very focused on improving the quality of the Ext JS 4.1 framework and we are creating lots of new learning material and training for the release. I am learning 4.1 is to align with the QA efforts underway here at Sencha.</description>

      <description>@Ted Patrick
I&#8217;m wondering, why don&#8217;t you use latest stable version? Since Ext JS 4.1 is still beta and it has so many bugs (see http://www.sencha.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?93&#45;Ext&#45;4.1&#45;Beta ), it seems to me that using  Ext JS 4.1 for learning or development is waste of time.</description>

      <description>Added the two links to VJET and VJET Syntax for Ext JS. Also added a semi&#45;colon after the window creation, thanks @puritysdisciple. I am learning Ext JS 4.1 from scratch and the example above is using Ext JS 4.1 beta 1 via the Sencha.io CDN.</description>

      <description>Generally the sencha blog is a heap of great knowledge that I am excited to read whenever it shows up in my RSS reader. However, this is an article about javascript, by a java developer, with a hint of Ext added in. Not something I would expect to see here.

With that being said, the use of alert kind of makes me queasy, and there is a missing semicolon after the &#8220;)&#8221; when creating the window.</description>

      <description>I feel the presence of the (rather large) section &#8220;Interpreted&#8221; made me question the author as a valid source of a reliable review. I would have rather found it more valuable to hear from an experienced JavaScript expert. The title &#8220;Head first into JavaScript with ExtJS&#8221; would have been more accurate and might have been better published on some other site, not the actual Sencha site. It sounds like you&#8217;re not much of a front&#45;end developer based on this article and as a follower of ExtJS through every iteration from 1.0 to today (including Ext Core and Sencha Touch) I&#8217;m disappointed after reading it. So inclusion, why is this on here?</description>
