Sencha Architect was the last thing I worked on full time at Sencha, and I’m incredibly proud to see its release today. Architect allows designers and developers to create Sencha Touch and Ext JS apps in an easy to use, drag and drop interface. I have seen similar tools in the JavaScript world for other UI/app frameworks, but I can honestly say: None of them come close to Architect in their power or flexibility. Check out the blog post for more details.
Sencha Touch 2 Developer Preview, Available Now
This video shows a side-by-side comparison of the Kitchen Sink demo orientation change on an Android Motorola Atrix in Touch 1.1 and in our latest version of Touch 2. The new layout engine in Touch 2 is so fast we had to use a high speed camera to measure it. We shot this video at 120 frames per second, then slowed the video down to ¼ speed so you can see the detail.
Sencha Touch 2 features performance updates across the board — In load time, scrolling speed, and rendering (especially on Android). Additionally, we have a whole new documentation app, which is easier to use, includes more resources, and features 11 new guides. Lastly, this release includes Native Packaging in our SDK tools, allowing you to publish your web app to the iOS App Store and Android Marketplace.
