What is the secret of success for facebook?
The success lies in the activity panel of facebook.

What is the activity panel?
It helps a user to keep updated on the what their friends or network does. for eg. when a user adds an application or an event is initiated in a network, these activities can be found right at the dashboard for an user as soon as he login’s to the system

Who all understood this secret?

1. NING, ZIKI both fall in to the same category of facebook.
2. Orkut a people finder
3. WordPress has a similar system, but their original concept

For most you the title might sound little crazy, I was high over heels when I saw the examples hosted on the website. Believe me it was kick ass, wow – desktop widgets ready at your disposal.

After looking at the samples in the website decided to take a test drive, so did download the framework from their website.

The best part of the ext js is that they have a flexible License, Commercial to open source and to OEM/ Reseller license

Why download, when you have your own framework?
True, Don’t download, you may miss few good things like

1. Grids which are inline editable, sorting, detailed view/ normal view
2. tab tabs and more tabs, now advanced tab settings like disabled ones too
3. forget your javascript alert window
4. Tree view is the ultimate, has DND re-ordering
5. custom forms with XML support
6. You should check the live search example demo for the ajax combobox.
7. Ajax based image resize and much more…

So don’t wait, grab your copy today and check the way your prototyping and development speeding up.
