AT&T CTO, John Donovan, and more product sessions

Finally, we made a special product announcement: Sencha Touch 1.0 was officially released with

improvements like HTML5 forms support, web-based pickers, a complete new MVC package, and Android

optimization. And, we announced that Sencha Touch 1.0 is now available as a free commercial download,

(in addition to the existing free GPL download). Read more about Sencha Touch 1.0 here.

After the keynote kickoff, the conference sessions officially began. There were three session tracks

for the day; Sencha Foundations, Sencha Labs, and Sencha Ext GWT. Just one of the many highlights of

the program included a preview of the new application architecture for Ext JS 4, and a packed session

on server-side JavaScript.

The day concluded with a hackathon and lightning demos, sponsored by Google. There were some fantastic

app prototypes created in about 1 1/2 hours of hacking. Lots of thanks go out to Dave Nielsen for being

master of ceremonies for the hackathon.

That about recaps day 1 at Sencha Conference 2010. We’re looking forward to day two with keynote from

AT&T CTO, John Donovan, and more product sessions.

(We are videotaping all the sessions, and once we get the video out of post-processing, we’ll be

posting it for conference participants first, and soon afterward we’ll start releasing sessions for

general viewing.)
