small website using EXT - screenshots and demo movie

[HuyDung]

HI.

I've created a small website base on EXT as my semester 1 project in Aptech - a computer education. It's not available in the web yet. But I have some screenshots to show you. And the most important is: I want to say thank you so much. Thank you, Jack, for developed such a great library!!! And thank you, all the ext users in this forum, who helped me when I had troubles, and who posted many great articles from which I had learned so much not only about EXT but also about js, json, oop ...

I'm still developing my website. So any comment would be great :)

You can see the screenshots and demo video here: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-lurcoh4neqjCstLycw8z3JHo?p=1766#comments

congrats. I don't see the web application model working well for most public websites. I mean it looks nice but most people barely know how to use regular sites, let alone web applications as complicated as that.

good luck :)

take a look @ netflix. they have ajax + regular web site features.

I agree with djliquidice about this being a lot of javascript for the average internet user but the framework could work well as an intranet application. Perhaps you can extend this application so that it "degrades" nicely into a mostly html website. If you do, please let us know how it went. You have built a lot of funtionality for only 1 month of development!

yeah, I agree with you all.

At the very first, I decided to use EXT for admin-part, and normal html with some ajax functions only when needed for user-part of the website. But after finished viewing/edit/delete users information with grid (admin-part), I went to trouble. My code was not really clear at all, it was confusing and really hard to extend. It's easy to understand: I was so new with either ext and oop programing in js.

Then I found go.waka.ca and interested in it. I decided to throw all those code and write the user part with ext all by myself, with as little copy-paste as I can. I found that I can understand and maintain my own code easier and faster than I was with other's :))

So I developed the user part all in ext. And after finished (finished current version - I have so many idea to extend my project) I think it's not hard for young people to use the website. All my friend seem interested in using and discovery its functions.

Beside, I think: It's really a good time to try something different when I was in school, isn't it? In the future real project [as I'll find a job in a real company after I finished year 1], may be I won't have chances to work with as new and brilliant library like ext because of business terms. SO I want to do it right now :D
