Category notes Ext Ext.nd javascript
Ok, so its been a while since i've actually blogged... I've been meaning to get back to it for a while.. so on with it. I've been playing around with the Ext.nd library for a few weeks now, getting to know Ext itself, along with the .nd extension. Speaking of Ext itself, I'm really impressed at the capabilities and the power that it provides. It allows you to make a very rich UI very quickly, With just a little work (mostly learning the library itself) I am able to create a web UI that mimics the client app's UI with near exact functionality. I am really excited to work with it more. On the Ext.nd side, I haven't delved too deep into it yet, using mostly some of the basic functionality located within some of the base classes. I am excited by what I see. There is definetly room for more features and functionality, but its a young library yet. It would do us all good to get behind this library and help psuh it forward. I know that IBM is pushing Dojo forward and implanting it within the domino server itself, but I see alot more potential and power in the Ext line than I do in Dojo. I've helped with the coding on NotesView2, and its a great javascript view tool. The weaknesses in NotesView2 are strengths within the Ext.nd notes view, however the Ext.nd view has some limitations that has already been overcome with NotesView2... I think over the next few weeks, I am going to try to merge the features that NotesView2 has into the Ext.nd view and see what I get. I think the results could be a VERY strong web javascript view component that will be second to none.
