Re: RPG CGI for PHP programmers

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, ExtJS isn't a small drop in the bucket, which I have been learning on
and off the past year.  The biggest thing is to develop patterns and
document them.  For example, there are a number of ways to put all of your
ExtJS definitions together.  I am working on an RPGUI app right now
(RPG+ExtJS) that will show some of those patterns and hopefully I will be
able to get some critique of it once I post it on sourceforge.net

At least you are still in RPG with RPGsp.
