In an obvious moment of insanity, the company Coolite has decided to provide free copies of the Learning ExtJS book with license purchases. Their sales are sure to skyrocket due to this book being included.

We packed this thing with a ton of great insider tips to using ExtJS.
Cutter, Colin and I worked together to bring all the mos
