Build a Sencha Touch App in Minutes

UPDATE: Check out the Sencha Touch 2 version of this book.

I created the Building a Sencha Touch Application eBook to help you learn Sencha Touch. This book will teach you how to create an application from scratch. It will shorten the time it takes you to learn Sencha Touch, and give you great pointers that you can use to develop your own applications.

What You Will Learn

As in the online tutorials that preceded it, in this book you will learn how to create a Sencha Touch 1.1.1 application that allows its users to take notes and store them on the device running the app. With this hands-on introduction to Sencha Touch, you will learn practices such as the following:

• How to apply the MVC pattern in Sencha Touch.
• How to create form elements and capture user input.
• How to use lists to render data.
• How to use templates to achieve data binding and render list items.
• How to use css to change the look of list items.
• How to create data stores that cache information on the device running the application.
• How to build toolbars, and create handlers for toolbar buttons.

Building a Sencha Touch Application is not a comprehensive Sencha Touch reference. It doesn’t cover all the features, strengths, and weaknesses of Sencha Touch. Rather, it will create a foundation that will help you take the next steps in your path to learning and using the framework.
