I regularly hit technorati, DZone and Google looking for recent Ext JS related blog posts. There’s always quite a bit going on in the blogsphere and we are going to start sharing the interesting ones we find here on the Ext JS Blog. Here are some of the ones I have read recently.
Savvy Duck Blog
I was surprised to have just found this blog. Here’s a great quote from the author that made my day:
“My javascript started with Prototype 1.4 , then Dojo 0.4, JQuery, Prototype 1.5, Dojo 0.9, Prototype 1.6 and then settled on Ext 2.0. I kept cycling around because my application needed controls that the library either didn’t provide, and I had to write my own, or the library had the control and then I had to write enormous amounts of code to get simple stuff to work. Ext became a godsend because almost everything was straightforward and I could customize it without having to go really deep into the library’s code nor write a lot of code to get it to work. It took me a matter of weeks to wrap up my first project with Ext. I used it in a second project with a far more elaborate user interface and had it pretty much done in a couple of weeks too. I am still surprised.”.
There’s nothing I like to hear about more than a developer having success with Ext. It’s even better when that developer is willing to share their experiences and insight with others. His blog has quite a few Ext posts and they are all well written. Here are a few of them:
- Mixing Ext’s Grid with JQuery’s Flot
- Introduction to the Ext Grid Object
- Design Patterns, MVC and Ext 2.0

Dan’s blog has a wealth of knowledge about using Ext 2.0 with Cold Fusion. He also posted a nice step by step tutorial about using Ext Forms that isn’t CF specific.

I’ve searched for blogs many times but in vain. It’s great to have a list of Ext blogs to follow!
The blog entry “Introduction to Ext Grid Object” is found at
http://savvyduck.blogspot.com/2008/02/javascript-introduction-to-ext-grid.html
It seems that accidentially the first entry was linked twice.
Thanks Michael. I corrected it above.

We are planning to use ExtJS with a portlet ’s JSP in IBM Websphere Portal server v6.0. The question or comment from sone one is that if the user turn-off JavaScript support on the browser, then ‘nothing’ will work in the portlet. I’m not sure that’s really true. I think ONLY the functions in the portlet’s JSP that was implemented by ExtJS will no longer function. Please validate my assumption.
