One of the first technology decisions I made for my live chat application was to code the front end entirely using Ext-JS. Unlike prototype, JSQuery, and the other JS libraries, Ext isn’t just a collection of helper functions. It’s an honest-to-god GUI framework. More like QT than Scriptaculous.

Well, version 2.0 has come out. And I’ve started porting my existing code. All I can say is I’m amazed.

Hi. We’re glad you like Ext. We’re working hard to make it the best framework available for building desktop-like web apps. Please be sure to let us know of your progress and if you have a demo we can peak at, that would be awesome.

Hi Rey,

Thanks for stopping by!

I’ll be sure to get you a link to the demo when it’s ready.

I second your sentiments, Starr. ExtJS is great for frontend UI’s. ChatSpring definitely looks great using it. I’ve been getting into Ext quite a bit lately…maybe I should blog about it instead of posting here:).

ExtJS is very impressive. Glad someone feels the same way as I do! I wish ExtJS was a chic!

You can blog about it in my comments section, Jon. It’s ok. :)
