A solid tutorial for Sencha Touch V2 [closed]

Question

I found a great tutorial on creating an MVC App from Scratch using Sencha Touch V1.1 but unfortunately it isn't all that applicable to Sencha Touch V2. I want to learn the new/right way to build an MVC app moving forward with their latest framework.

Any good tutorial for building an MVC App using Sencha Touch V2?

Here's a list of places I've already looked.

• Official Docs
  • Videos are outdated
  • Examples don't show source snippets, you have to "View Source" and try to wade through the compressed/minified versions of the library.
  • Documentation doesn't describe MVC at all (just try searching for "mvc" in their search field... you'll come up empty handed)
• Google Advanced Search
  • I tried narrowing down the results by looking for "Sencha Touch" "mvc" where the articles were posted in the last week.
• And of course sencha-touch-2 right here on StackOverflow.
  • looks like as of this post, I'm the only person posting with that tag

Answer 1

I have a complete starter-project for Touch 2 using the MVC pattern on github here:

I found this link and site very useful - http://miamicoder.com/category/tutorials/sencha-touch-tutorials/

Updated for V2 as well - http://miamicoder.com/2012/how-to-create-a-sencha-touch-2-app-part-1/

Answer 3

I was also looking for such kind of a tutorial and I found this example to be very helpful for kickstarting my own senchatouch 2.0 app: https://github.com/kawanoshinobu/SenchaTouch2-simple-CRUD-sample

It's in python and the author uses google app engine to run it, but it's pretty self-explanatory how you can run a copy locally using any other backend :) Hope this helps

All Sencha products (Sencha Touch, Ext JS) are expected to follow the new MVC architecture. You should start with understand it. Here is my resource list:

1. MVC Application Architecture
2. Getting Started with Touch
3. Class System, Components etc..
4. Examples.. but I don't think there are MVC examples for now...

Answer 5

Start with http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/getting_started and examples/getting_started folder of the Sencha Touch 2.0 SDK download
