Practical Ext JS Projects with Gears
Dear Reader,
The world of web development has changed rapidly in a short period of time.
It’s no longer enough to make an application that simply works and does what
it’s supposed to; it’s got to work COOL and look good doing it. In other words,
rich Internet applications (RIAs) are where it’s at!
The Ext JS library sits at the top of the mountain of options available for cre-
ating RIAs. Offering some of the best user interface components around, Ajax
capabilities, drag and drop, a data framework, and tons of general-purpose
utilities, Ext JS has all you need to build modern RIAs.
The other part of the equation is Gears, from our friends at Google. Gears is a
browser extension that provides a host of new capabilities, including a true rela-
tional database system and even multithreading capabilities for JavaScript. Ext JS
and Gears together form a truly potent one-two punch for RIA development.
In this book you’ll learn by doing as you explore seven full, real-world applica-
tions, including:
• A personal information manager à la Microsoft Outlook
• A project management/time-tracking application
• A code cabinet for storing code snippets
• A mashup utilizing web services to look up and map local businesses
• A utility for interacting with Gears-provided databases
• An application for managing and tracking your finances that presents
a portal interface and which utilizes a publish/subscribe architecture
• And even a fun little game!
In the process you’ll gain a good understanding of Ext JS and Gears so you can
hit the ground running with them in your own projects. You’ll do this all with a
smile on your face, too, as I throw more pop-culture references and witticisms at
you than you can shake a stick at! So, come on in—fun and learning await you!
