Re: Sencha Touch

The JS overhead has been a concern of mine. The SenchaTouch has just
been "the path of least learning resistance" for me. Would you be
able to share a simple app to show how you are accomplishing a mobile
app with jqTouch?

Also, I thought Sencha purchased jqTouch - so is that library still
being developed outside of Sencha?

Hi Aaron;

Your app looks cool. I'm a huge ExtJS fan myself, however when it comes to iPhone or iPad I actually prefer plain HTML5 and jqTouch only. It gives you the same look and feel like Sencha Touch / native app, but with a smaller JS overhead.

This is just my findings - some like the daughter - some like the mother .... :)

Best regards

It is completely separate but uses a lot of the same foundation with
just less features.  The actual download is still too big (299k) for
mobile devices in my opinion, though 3g and 4g connected devices will
be fine.

Here is the file with all of the functionality:

Here is a work-in-progress app I am using SenchaTouch for (NOTE IT
ONLY WORKS IN AN HTML5 SUPPORTING BROWSER - Safari and Chrome):

Take a look at the above app from your Android or iPhone and see what
I mean by it looks like a native UI and not a web page.  My mind is
buzzing with possibilities.  Stay tuned for an article :-)

I am working on an HTML5/SenchaTouch app right now ...

Do you know the size of the core library for Sencha Touch?  Is it completely
independent from ExtJS?  Or is it built on top of ExtJS?

Thanks,

-Nathan
