Sencha - JavaScript Grid and UI Components
November 17, 2015—Sencha has released a preview of its Ext JS framework, which works as a Visual Studio plugin, that the company describes as a tool “that simplifies and accelerates the design and development of feature-rich HTML5 applications using JavaScript.” Sencha is demonstrating the plugin at the Visual Studio Live! conference in Orlando, Florida this week.
October 29, 2015—Today marks the one-year anniversary of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) declaring the HTML5 standard complete, a significant milestone in the history of the Internet and web application development. In this past year, HTML5 adoption has gone into overdrive, with more and more companies moving to HTML5 to deliver rich cross-platform web applications. The most recent examples include Amazon, Facebook, Google and YouTube, which transitioned from Adobe’s Flash to HTML5. Why is that? And why now?
October 28, 2015—So how have these advancements impacted Web development?
It has brought agility to the market because now there is a capability to do things faster. Businesses are turning around, and they are being more demanding by saying, “Let’s take this application that was only on desktop, and mobilize that application to deliver it on a mobile device so I can engage with my customer in a better way and be more interactive.”
October 21, 2015—There is a jump is in the number of developers using HTML5 as their primary web technology for mobile development. The 2013 and 2014 surveys both showed 7 percent of developers using HTML5 as their primary web application development technology, with 2015 doubling to 14 percent.
October 5, 2015—In the past, HTML5 has been viewed as the ugly stepchild of Web technologies. But with recent advancements from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), HTML5 is quickly becoming the preferred solution for developing for the Web.
“Over the last probably six months, HTML5 has really kind of risen to become a reliable enterprise-class software that large companies and small companies can actually count on,” said Art Landro, CEO of Sencha.
September 28, 2015—Sencha’s mobile app development tools let developers build cross-platform apps using a single codebase, in this case either Java or JavaScript. Using a single codebase for cross-platform development cuts down significantly on build and implementation timelines, and allows developers to focus their efforts on building the best application possible without worrying about replicating the application multiple times for specific operating system requirements.
September 23, 2015—For IBM i shops eyeing mobile development, the tools are in place to consolidate nearly all client development–including mobile apps for all smartphone and tablet platforms, as well as Web applications.
Earlier this summer, Sencha released a unified app development framework that’s gaining the attention of enterprises. With Sencha Ext JS 6, enterprises can develop applications that render perfectly in PC-based Web browsers, and touch-enabled smartphones and tablets.
September 22, 2015—The emergence of a great and ever-growing number of form factors and operating systems makes writing natively – for each device – increasingly impracticable. HTML5 has reached a maturity level and sophistication in which its ability to create and present rich content without relying on the device and its operating system makes it a preferred alternative.
September 11, 2015—Sencha is bullish on the technology, with Gautam Agrawal, senior director of product management stating that this “changes more of UX than UI itself. 3D Touch offers pressure-sensitive interaction capabilities, which can potentially improve the application workflow (depending on how the UX designers and developers utilize these capabilities).”
September 4, 2015—The new beta release of Sencha Inspector provides a debugging tool with direct access to components, classes, objects, and themes for apps built using Sencha frameworks. With Inspector beta, developers can debug Ext JS classic and modern applications.
