Rich Internet Applications with ExtJS on Drupal

Track: 
Coder
Experience: 
Intermediate

This session is about how we can built rich client-server applications using Drupal and the ExtJS javascript framework. ExtJS is a great framework for building clean interfaces with little or no theme tweaking.

Utilizing Services API and JSON-RPC server on the back end allows us to interact without calling theme functions while the ExtJS library provides the bulk of our interface. This combination greatly reduces (if not eliminates) the need for dedicated theme layer code to handle the user interface.

Examples of code (Drupal and JS) will be included in the session. We will also discuss the best practices of organizing your code and team.

Intended audience: 

Drupal and JavaScript coders who need to build
client-server applications with rich user interface;
