It’s been a while. But let me tell you something from the beginning: This is my 10th attempt at doing a personal theme. This time though, I’ve decided to screw the peer reviewing and just upload it when I’m satisfied with it. Peer reviewing has been great for one thing: Knowing that my design sucked. It’s okay though, design isn’t my strength. But I’d love to be good at it. So hell with it. So that is the design part of this post.

Sencha touch, you suck.

Javascript is a cool language, and I haven’t played with it enough. There’s some cool stuff you could do with it (even though I think Javascript is way too heavy on a browser but that is another another topic). I had to work with Sencha Touch for the past 2-3 weeks and I am very disappointed about their lying documentation and glitches when you start populating content dynamically. Poor Forum input didn’t help at all. 

The worse for me was that sometimes I could read something in the documentation and try to implement to finally find out reading the source code that the specific feature I was looking for didn’t even exist. I think that when you create a webpage, you shouldn’t rely on a frontend framework (Cappucino, Sencha, etc.) because like @jeedee already said: HTML/CSS/Javascript is simple enough, why would you want to start making your life harder by using some abstraction to a scripting language. My guess is that he’s write on that one.
