Notes

In this section we want to keep certain notes about this workshop. It is not a necessary requirement to read this section if you just start with GeoExt.

In case you have questions about why we have structured the workshop as we have done it, please continue reading.

Q: Why not as Ext.application? Why no MVC?

Why didn't you create the examples as Ext.application()? An why aren't you using the MVC pattern?

We recommend the use of Ext.application / Ext.app.Application and the use of the MVC or MVVM pattern for real-world applications. For this introductory workshop we think this would complicate stuff more than necessary.

Q: Why not with help of Sencha Cmd?

Why don't you use the Sencha Cmd for the workshop?

We use the sencha tool quite often in our daily work, but found that the additional burden of installation steps would be distracting for the main focus of this workshop.
