Sencha Touch MVC framework and SCSS integration guides

[lexer]

Hi,

In your examples I see that there is some kind of MVC framework. I failed to find any tutorial about it. Could anybody provide a link to blog posts with description of this MVC framework and its project structure.

Also I see adoption of SCSS stylesheets. It would be great to find tutorial about them too.

Shoot... I wrote a pretty lengthy response but Chrome just deleted it...

Short version:
There aren't really any tutorials on Sencha Touch. But Ext JS and Sencha Touch look alike in their structure. So if you're able to code Ext JS, Sencha Touch should be a lot easier. http://extjs.eu/ is a great resource. Also, you could look at J. Garcia's "Ext JS in Action" (http://www.manning.com/garcia/).

SCSS:

Do you mean that ExtJs project also have controllers, views, models and routing like Kiva Sencha project?

I just have to make sure that we understand each other:

Ext JS = Framework
Sencha Touch = Framework
Kiva = Application built with Sencha Touch

All I'm saying is that if you don't know Sencha Touch, the Ext JS Framework is a good thing to learn first because the Ext JS Framework and Sencha Touch Framework are very similar in their stucture.

I don't think there are any tutorials on the MVC design pattern and Sencha Touch...

Hi all, we'll be posting articles on both shortly. Personally, I plan on trying to get the theming doc out by next week, before the holiday. Thanks-

That will be great! The MVC based approach for twitter, kiva examples etc does look clean. It will be great to have an example/blog illustrating "best practices" on how to incorporate MVC for complex applications.

Yes, it would be great to have a tutorial/walkthrough on this area.

Any updates on this?

[gordonjl]

Indeed! An update would be great!

Still no updates ? Got the mvc pattern up and running, but it would come in handy if there was just a little more stuff about it on the forum or blogs etc.

Start watching the Sencha Touch in Action book..

http://www.manning.com/garcia2/

Both authors are going to be going over MVC patterns as well as the bits of the framework. Get the MEAP and you will be updated when a new chapter releases. Right now there are 3 chapters available.
