Writing this book took a lot of effort on my part, but I certainly wouldn’t have been
able to do it without the help and contributions of others. I owe each of the following
a personal thank you:
■
My wife—Erika, this book has been in the works for a few years. When people
congratulate me, they often don’t recognize that I couldn’t have written this
book had you not provided the much-needed support for me to do so. I love
you with all of my heart and am very grateful to have you in my life.
■
My sons—Takeshi, Kenji: I won’t forget the constant running around the house
as I wrote this book. I thank you for your sacrificed time with me to allow me to
complete it. You boys are the reason I work so hard, and I love you very much.
■
Mitchell Simoens—I’m grateful to call you my friend. Watching your develop-
ment both professionally and personally has been something I’ve taken great
pride in. Always remember to push the envelope with your knowledge.
■
Abe Elias—I have been amazed to see you evolve as you worked through the
many years with Sencha to lead a team of top-notch professional engineers.
Whenever I talk about great people, you’re one of the names that always comes
to mind. Keep staying awesome!
■
Grgur Grisogono—Meeting you has changed my life for the better. I’m grateful
to your friendship and look forward to many more years.
■
Jacob Andresen—Your contributions to this manuscript have been valuable,
and I thank you for the hard work you put in to get chapters cranked out.
■
Don Griffin—Thank you for allowing me to take part in conversations regard-
ing Sencha Cmd and other Ext
JS
–related tools.

I want to thank my loving wife Andrea and kids Laurenco and Paulina for their con-
stant support and encouragement. They provided me with the resources and the love
that I needed to generate, channel, and renew energy to write the content for this
book. I’m forever indebted to the incredible reviewers who shared their energy and
knowhow to make a much better book for the good of the community.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to Modus Create for supporting me and
granting me new challenges that have made me a better professional. Special thanks
to Sencha and its core team engineers, who have been incredibly helpful, providing
insight into the latest and greatest to make the content of this book up to date with
the most recent Ext
JS
and Sencha Cmd upgrades.
The most sincere appreciation is due to two of the most prominent Ext
JS
com-
munity members and tremendous people: my coauthors, Jesus Garcia and Jacob
Andresen. They were a tremendous team to work with, the perfect guides and review-
ers, and the never-tiring locomotive that constantly pushed the project forward.
