Who this book is for
This book is particularly relevant to those working in large-scale web application development projects, including application architects, Java developers, and Ext JS developers.
Application architects
Architects understand the big picture from a technical perspective and are responsible for laying out a blueprint for development standards. This book will introduce you to the power of the Spring Framework and Sencha Ext JS and how you can best leverage these technologies when designing your next project.
Java developers
Regardless of your level of understanding, you will learn how the Spring Framework encourages good programming practices. This includes a clean, layered structure that is easy to enhance and maintain. Those new to Spring will be surprised at how little effort is required to achieve significant results. For both new and experienced Spring developers, the focus will be best practices for enterprise web development to allow seamless integration with Sencha Ext JS clients. If you have never worked with Sencha Ext JS, you will be surprised at how quickly powerful UIs can bring backend data to life.
Ext JS developers
Sencha Ext JS is a powerful framework that is used to build enterprise applications that are cross-browser compliant. This book will solve real-world problems right from analysis to providing fully functional solutions. You will see the many stages of development that are usually hidden from Ext JS developers; you will also get introduced to the steps required to produce JSON data for client consumption. The chapters focusing on the Ext JS components will introduce simple strategies for maintainable development based on the latest MVC design patterns.
