Simon Shepherd FootballGuys.com

I have to say this does a much better job of explaining Ext JS 6 than the Sencha Roadshow did. Whenever I am introduced to new technologies, my brain constantly comes up with questions - I found that these were answered as I thought of them in the next paragraph, giving the book a really easy read.

Marc Veenhof Lyxer ICT Solutions

The book gives great insight on how to get started with Ext JS 6 and how to combine the 2 toolkits 'classic' and 'modern'. It provides great examples and clear practical information. A must have for any Ext JS developer.

Forum Member sg707

Got the book and finished it in one seating. It's about 100 page long but filled with very juicy stuff. After reading this book, it gave me clear guidelines on how to create a Universal Web Application. It really answered all the questions I've had for ExtJS 6.

Dominik Mikiewicz

The book is a very good reference and I will look inside from time to time so I quickly get the info I am after.
