Ext JS is a full Web application platform. As such, it offers a daunghting quantity of components for building rich application interfaces. If you’ve never built an application interface before, it’s useful to have some idea what is possible to accomplish.
- The Ext JS examples are a good place to start
- Saki’s Extensions includes a dizzying number of plugins
- Cherry On Ext includes some additional plugins
- Steffen Hiller has a few Ext JS plugins on github
- Different patterns for extending Ext classes
- Extending Ext classes using Ext.extend (and give special attention to code comments)
- An impressiveMVC architecture using ExtJS as the foundation
- A JavaScript Module Pattern
- ext-mvc is a MVC implementation that is sort of Rails-like
- sExt is a Rails plugin that generates ExtJS
- Remote Combo Boxes
The links provided are my attempt to organize the possibilities so I can focus my reading and learning accordingly.

I’m always amazed to see what some of our users create and how broad of a reach Ext JS has. It’s neat to be able to work on apps from various sectors such as healthcare, IT, fiancial, etc.
You should take a look at the Examples and Extra’s forum on the Ext JS forums. There are several awesome sites/projects which users post on a daily basis. We also highlight some user’s projects in our “Implementation Spotlight”s series on our blog.
Very nice blog you have here, keep up the good work!
I spent the last 48 hours reading the API docs, forum posts, tutorials, and there’s still plenty to read. The initial focus, like that of many, being Ext.grid.GridPanel. It’s possible to do so much, it’s crazy! I was about to reimplement just that component, poorly, before I found Ext JS.
