ExtJS Library: Background Research

ExtJS have compiled a handy list of external resources which provide a deeper understanding of the technologies that have went into the ExtJS library itself. No doubt, most of you out there will not be suprised by many on the list, but it does make for interesting reading.

If you know of any others which I have missed, please let me know

after taking some inspiration from nigella, my daughter and I cooked up some delicious chocolate croissants. The entire process was dead easy and the results were delicious!! My only regret was that we gobbled up the chocolate before they were cooked, then when we realised how good they were, we didnt have any more choc to make more

You can check out the recipe by going to:

It has been a long time in the making, but have finally managed to get around to setting this up.

When I set about thinking what i hoped to achieve with this blog, my first thought was ‘a pool of creativity’ but in all honesty, I think it may just end up as a pool of random thoughts and shiny new toys to play with.

enjoy.
