It is kinda funny how many of us have been developing web applications for years, yet we never truly realized the power of JavaScript! Sure, we did create functions; some of us even created libraries of functions but that’s about it. Lot of things have changed in the web development space - AJAX is the name of the game and Google is leading the way by creating many successful web based applications that use JavaScript. So, long story short, while creating wireframe of an application, using ExtJS, I learnt a lot about JavaScript Programming.
For instance, I didn’t know that namespaces exist in JavaScript! See here. For that matter, public and private variables, returning public interfaces of your objects, is all fairly common in most other object oriented languages, yet so many of us are simply not aware of such capabilities of JavaScript. Over next few days, I will post my experience of working on ExtJS and integrating it with DWR (Dynamic Web Remoting).
