Chris Scott from ExtJS blogs about ExtJS books

Chris Scott recently published a blog post outlining the current books available for ExtJS. He makes some excellent points about the approaches used in each of these books (or at least the two currently available).

Learning Ext JS takes a top-down approach to teaching Ext JS ... this approach will certainly immerse the reader quickly into a number of common techniques used througout the framework, like XType, configuration objects and common component configuration parameters.

Both Learning ExtJS and ExtJS in Action take differing paths to get to the end result of learning the ExtJS library.

Ext JS In Action, will make an excellent companion to Learning Ext JS below, since it takes a more-technical bottom-up approach to teaching Ext JS

Ive noticed this myself when talking to Jay about projects, we have quite a different approach. This will definitely help the ExtJS community grow by appealing to the different learning styles of newcomers.
