General Dynamics to host an Ext JS and JavaScript Meetup

After a successful and full meetup at Three Pillar Global on 1/19/2010, General Dynamics has graciously invited us to host a meetup at their Northern Virginia location. Pat Sheridan and Jay Garcia have selected two key topics that are essential to building dynamic and robust Ext JS applications.

About the presentations:

Theming Ext JS, Pat Sheridan

I’ll give some practical code walkthrough on understanding the default theme CSS, using Renderers, and writing/ overriding Ext Templates to give your app a unique look and feel.

Using Base Classes, Jay Garcia

Jay will explore the benefits of using base classes to improve and standardize application infrastructure.
He will walk through a real time example writing a base class and two implementation classes.

Food and refreshments to be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
