Sencha apps are extremely responsive as they execute locally and are maneuvered through AJAX connections
. Sencha products include SDKs and tools which are very well structured and can help out large teams to work without having any confusion. You can easily code in JavaScript or Java since both the extensions Ext JS and Ext GWT are present.
Sencha Touch is the world's first app framework which actually helps developers to make the most out of HTML5 and CSS3. HTML5 is specifically used to deliver audio and video along with a localStorage proxy for offline data saving and storage. CSS3 has been extensively used in stylesheets for a robust look and feel.
What's surprising is that the entire Sencha library is under 120kb as it is minified hence there is no need to disable unused components or styles. This makes Sencha Touch development even simpler to use.
Robust touch events are important to the framework's architecture. There are standard events like touchstart and touchend along with a huge list of custom events which can help you attach responses to pinch, touch and swipe as needed.
Sencha Touch Development is based on Sencha's cross-platform framework and is perfect for futuristic touch-enabled devices. It can now be used with Apple iOS 3 and higher devices, Android 2.1 and higher devices, and BlackBerry 6 and higher devices. All these mobile platforms constitute 95% of current US mobile traffic. Developers can also make optimum use of special custom themes that can be created specifically for those devices. There are a huge number of Android models and iPhones out there and the popularity of WebKit is crucial for Sencha as the list of supported platforms would grow tremendously.
Sencha Touch Development is like the development of other frameworks and actually comes with a powerful data package. One can easily request data from different sources wherein the most preferred include AJAX, JSONP, or YQL which can attach data to visual components. The data can then be pulled offline with the help of localStorage writers.
Sencha Touch is enterprise-ready and is one of the best solutions for mobile enterprise application development. The coding standards are strict but extremely familiar for developers who are well-versed with other development packages. It also carries a classical inheritance model and can be worked by teams whether small or large. The best part is that the output is completely web-based and you do not have to worry about the deployment in this regard.
Additionally, professional support and training is available for those starting out with Sencha Touch Development too!
