Sencha Touch. HTML5?

Yo! whats up guys?

I have always felt UI/UX being an integral part of application development. What? Well not really if you are the developer of the ugly looking enterprise apps. Can’t help your poor souls though. But if you fall in the niche category, where you get to develop something cool! Lets talk about the ONGOING Sencha Touch – Are you HTML5 ready? contest. Sencha touch has been one of my favourites, ever since I first started with it, Now well, to be honest, I have always been a backend guy with developing core functionalities rather than making designs, designing UIs, dabbling on UX. But I always had this urge to make something that looks gorgeous and well yeah! which is kind of easy to make. So well, there are two of the more popular frameworks out there, one being jQuery Mobile and other being Sencha Touch built over the popular framework Ext/js, which has been there from sometime now.

Anyways – Contest to build HTML5 apps –> http://www.sencha.com/html5-is-ready

They have kind of defined a few categories, though its not necessary for you to to stick to those categories, but they kind of make it established that you are in a better position to win if you keep within these categories –

  1. Weather
  2. To Do/Reminder
  3. Calculator
  4. Stocks
  5. Camera/Photos
  6. Calendar

Well, no ones stopping you though, you can create as long as it satisfies you, if it does, I guess, it should be good enough to win 🙂 so what brush up your javascript, brush up your MVC and start with it.

Guess I will make something up for the contest too 😛
