ExtGWT2 en ExtJS3 released - Ervaringen

[Rvanlaak]

Voor het browseronafhankelijk ontwikkelen van Rich Internet Applications zijn er meerdere libraries beschikbaar. JavaScript is hierbij uiteindelijk een vereiste. Recentelijk is Google Web Toolkit 1.6.4 gereleased, en vandaag heeft ook Ext zijn nieuwe release aangekondigd.

ExtGWT1.2.3 is niet compatibel met GWT1.6.4, hopelijk is dat in de 2.0 release opgelost. Premium members hadden al wel toegang tot de SVN trunk, hier zijn al wat ervaringen over te vinden op het Ext forum
