Sencha Drives Further Innovation in Web Application Market with Release of Sencha Ext JS 6 and Sencha Web Application Manager
Sencha, the company providing a unified platform for designing,
developing, deploying and managing cross-platform web applications,
today announced the general availability of Sencha Ext JS 6 and Sencha
Web Application Manager (formerly known as Sencha Space), two core
products within the new Sencha Web Application Lifecycle Management
Platform. Sencha Ext JS is the most comprehensive and widely used
JavaScript framework for building feature-rich cross-platform web
applications.
Along with desktops and tablets, enterprises are now tasked with
delivering applications to the highly fragmented world of mobile
devices. The promise of web applications is that line-of-business
managers and IT departments can use them to cost-effectively design,
develop and deploy mission-critical applications across all devices and
platforms. According to a recent Forrester (News - Alert) Consulting study commissioned
on behalf of Sencha entitled The
Rise of Web Technology, "the requirements put on the development
organizations to keep up with customers' expectations for rich
functionality and a seamless user experience across the desktop,
tablets, and smartphones will continue to accelerate in speed to market
and complexity. Investing in capabilities to enable development teams to
be flexible, security-minded, and fast is critical for competitive
differentiation."
"With Sencha Ext JS 6, enterprise development and IT teams can design
and develop universal applications from a single codebase and deploy
them through Sencha Web Application Manager to deliver the right user
experience on the right screen at the right time," said Art Landro, CEO
of Sencha. "By leveraging key components of the Sencha Platform, teams
can remove the complexities and cost associated with enterprise
application development and deployment, and accelerate each phase of the
software application lifecycle."
Nearly 2,000 current customers registered for the Sencha Ext JS 6 Beta.
According to a survey among these developers, more than 76 percent
stated that Ext JS 6 was easy to use, and more than 60 percent stated
that Fashion, the new theming technology that eliminates dependencies on
Ruby and Compass (News - Alert) was extremely useful. Almost 40 percent stated that
they plan to develop universal pplications, designed to run on
desktops, tablets and smartphones.
The Sencha Web Application Lifecycle Management Platform is open and
modular; customers can opt to either purchase the comprehensive Platform
or individual products such as Ext JS 6, Web Application Manager or
other modular elements of it.
