3. what is ExtJs?
ExtJS, also referred as EXT, is a cross-browser
JavaScript library for building rich internet
applications, using techniques such as AJAX,
DHTML and DOM scripting
originally built as an extension of YUI, Ext can now
also extend jQuery and Prototype. as of version
1.1, Ext can run stand-alone without relying on any
of those external libraries, though they remain an
option for integration

5. where did it come from?
in early 2006, Jack Slocum began working on a set
of extension utilities for the Yahoo! User Interface
(YUI) library. These extensions were quickly
organized into an independent library of code and
distributed under the name quot;yui-ext”
by the end of the year, the library had gained so much
in popularity that the name was changed simply to
Ext
the library officially hit version 1.0 on April 1, 2007

6. what does it all mean?
as a client-side framework, Ext can run against
any server platform that can process POST
requests and return structured data. common
choices include PHP, Java, .NET and many
more. there are server-side frameworks
available for most popular platforms that will
make your life much easier when programming
under the AJAX application model that Ext
uses
