Any comment?

How do I have to percieve the Core? Are the layout manager, tree, etc. not part of this?

Thanks!

This means that Ext Core becomes a viable alternative for jQuery: it’s also lightweight and free, and has fantastic community support…

Thanks for u all.

Isn’t it a mistake?
May be you mean “whether”? )

The Ext.Ajax.request({...}) example has a missing comma after the request URL.

1.) Respect the past, but don’t live there.
To most developers I say, “Quit complaining and get out their and DO. PRODUCE”. Think about the Time and Energy wasted trying to remind everyone of some indirect *harm* you(the complainers) experienced while a talented start-up company discovered their product positioning within a tough, over-crowded, market.

I am sure everyone of us have had growing pains in our lives… Ask yourself how would you like to be treated? Would you like to relive those moments at every turn?

2.) We all love Open Source and yes our clients do too. But what they love more is the paycheck home to support their family or life.

The marketing guys at Ext don’t do a lot to show where their product has been successful. If you want a great *Case Study*, look at http://www.SalesForce.com and how they have used ExtJS as their library of choice. We should all hope to be as lucky as them and our web applications.

You(the complainers) might turn and ask yourself are YOU missing out on something because you are stuck in the past looking at licensing? Why would you NOT tell your customers to go with Ext? I for one want my customers and clients to be successful.

In closing, if a company likes SalesForce.com is willing to bet $739 million(2007 revenue) dependent and centered around a JavaScript framework, I want to give my clients the same opportunity and long term trust!

Can we get back to checking out more of Ext Core 3.0 (beta) now?

Having a powerful core library that is fast, small sized (KB), and backed by a commercial company that is 100% committed (and focused) on the development of a solid JavaScript library is very comforting.

Even beyond the success of Ext Core, is that once I graduate past a simple website, I know that ExtJS is waiting for me. No longer do I have to worry about some small 3rd party *jQuery* plug-in to do something my clients require. Gone is the worry that they will update and develop for years their ‘project’ plugin.

Now I can give my customers the confidence that what they have is solid, reliable, and extensive framework for… what’s the tag line… “A Foundation You Can Build On”. Which is exactly true, our applications sit right on top and use all of the great Data Grids, Border Layouts, Ajax, and so on.

So here is +1 Thumbs Up on a great tool and thank you Ext for giving us the tools to succeed on our web based applications… (and now front-end websites with Ext Core ;p)

Good job though

Current:
And finally lets look at ‘afterEnd’.
Ext.fly(‘elId’).insertHtml(‘beforeEnd’, ‘Hi’)

Should be:
And finally lets look at ‘afterEnd’.
Ext.fly(‘elId’).insertHtml(‘afterEnd’, ‘Hi’)
