A Fresh Approach to JavaScript Documentation—The New Ext JS 4 Documentation Center http://www.sencha.com/blog/new-ext-js-4-documentation-center Since the launch of Ext JS 4 we’ve been hard at work improving all aspects of helping you learn the framework. We’ve launched a new learning center, improved the way we track bugs and respond to issues on the forums and more. You’ve given us a tremendous amount of support as well as suggestions on how to improve via the active docs app threads on the forums. We’ve been listening and today I’d like to share a few of the improvements we’ve made with you, as well as some of what we’re working on. en-us nick@extjs.com Copyright 2011 2011-08-22T17:00:40+00:00 Comment by Delphia Why does this have to be the ONLY rliaeble source?

I was hoping that there’s some functionality in (or for) ExtJS4 that would allow to simply transform the Viewport (and all the components in it) into something suitable for printing over more pages . @Rene Saarsoo Thanks for your answer.

I know of a colleague that gave ExtJS a try and hated it because he happened to try one of the tutorials promoting MVC.  He just wanted something simple to quickly get his app up and running. It would be great if there were more tutorials geared towards getting people started, explaining some of the various ways ExtJS can be used (e.g. functional/linear, just OO, and MVC framework), as well as the pros and cons of each. Also, something covering other basics like creating components in various ways.  I know there are docs on xtype/lazy instantiation, etc., but I haven’t seen a whole lot helping someone choose among the various methods.  I’ve been refactoring my ExtJS 3.x code and even I have had trouble making some of these decisions so I can understand why my colleague got so frustrated. Like you guys, I wanna lower the barrier of entry to help get more people onto ExtJS!  Thanks for all of your hard work!

Chrome 13 on XP, 5 year old developer’s desktop. During the slow tab switch I note that CPU goes high. I assume the new help design embeds the whole help navigation tree in each tab? Since the good old days when the Ext help system was good example of modern browser UI design it has gone from bad to poorly. Same problem with slow tab switching as reported above.

Also koti mentioned that you guys could create a link on the product/download page for a list of known issues (as you do for the Designer). Perhaps you could list a “Changelog” on the download page. I support koti’s great idea for a submission form of “Report bugs…” This can assist your reports with more concise information as it is defined in the form. Unfortunately, not everyone bothers to read the “How to report a bug” sticky in the forum threads.

One thing.  The name on the tabs can be ambiguous.  Ext.grid.Panel and Ext.form.Panel both show up as just “Panel” in the tabs title bar.  Any chance of extending it out if it gives rise to ambiguity with another class? Good work guys.

I really like the new look… @seifer made a valid point tought, tab switching is so slow in IE 8 that it almost makes the doc center unusable. Main left-side tabs aren’t that bad, but switching between center tabs can take more than 4 seconds. The app loads very slowly as well and the gear’s aren’t moving. Very nice!
