I originally found out about the library immediately after its initial creation...when the original YUI library for it was introduced to the open source community. In mid-2005 to early 2006 "Ext" came to fruition as a few really cool "widgets" placed wherever you would like on the web if you had a server for yourself somewhere. Now, Ext JS has evolved into a very large JavaScript User Interface library consisting of everything from basic "AJAX" functionality to features as large as completely customizable User Interface widgets and Adobe AIR integration.

But, we're misleading you. By classifying Ext JS as a "User Interface" library we've been leading you to believe that it is such. Well, it definitely is not. It's so much more than just a user interface library. For example, you can use other user interface libraries with Ext JS, like Scriptaculous and jQuery, using a really easy to use Ext adapter. I urge you to discover more information about Ext JS.

In the near future I'll be writing much more about this new fangled Ext JS library (3.0); tutorials, news, etc. In the past I've written a few introductory tutorials which have been getting a bit of notice and have helped a few people get their bearings with Ext JS and its Forms.
