Why We Chose Sencha Touch
Building products for the mobile enterprise specifically targeted for BYOD environments, we needed a development infrastructure that would enable us to reuse development investments for the various mobile platforms. Sencha Touch was a natural choice due to its cross-platform capabilities. Moreover, being able to use the rich set of out-of-the-box, high-performance components from Sencha was key to helping harmon.ie deliver a product to market in a timely manner with a great user experience.
First, in order to render thousands of Office 365 and SharePoint documents in our app, we used the Sencha List-Store-Proxy model. By implementing a custom data proxy (which inherits from Ext.data.proxy) with server-side paging against the document repository, we were able to use the out-of-the-box List and ListPaging plugin components to provide high-performance access to Office 365 and SharePoint documents.
