Video Series: Build an Ext JS Application Using Modern Toolkit – Part 2

I am pleased to present the second installment of my video series describing the process of developing an application from scratch using the Modern Toolkit. In these episodes, we will continue to build an application that will handle data from all FIFA World Cup matches. We will improve the look and feel of the Javascript Grid components in the application while also adding new ones such as List, Pivot Grid, and Charts for a sleek user interface design. You will also learn how to aggregate and load data in a store based on data from another store, as well as how to define the architecture of an application targeting various devices.

Here are five more episodes – as a reminder, you can view episodes 1-5 here or on our YouTube channel:

Episode 6: List Component

In this episode we add a List component to display data about FIFA matches in a phone version of our application.

Episode 7: Advanced Grid Features

In this episode we enhance our Grid component: insert HTML code into Grid cells, aggregate values from different fields in one cell, bind CSS class to a row based on the field values, add RowNumberer column.

Episode 8: Improving List Component

In this episode we enhance our List Component: extend the template corresponding to a listed item, and add CSS styles to DOM elements used in the template.

Episode 9: Pivot Grid Component

In this episode we add a Pivot Grid component to our application to aggregate and analyze data about FIFA matches: find countries that won and lost the biggest number of games at FIFA World Cups. We calculate flat data about matches based on the data from the original dataset, load this data into the Pivot Grid component and discuss its configuration properties: matrix, left axes, top axes and aggregate.

Episode 10: Chart Component

In this episode we add a Chart Component to our application to visualize count of wins and losses at FIFA World Cups for every country. We calculate aggregated data, load it to the Chart Component and discuss its configuration properties: type, axes and series.

Here is the source code for the application that we are building:
