I have recently been doing quite a bit of development with both ExtJS and jQuery and I thought I would share my experiences with both of them. One thing to keep in mind is that I’m not going to say whether one is really good or bad - they’re both excellent libraries and your choice for any given project might simply come down to personal preference. That said, the rest of this will be my opinion on the two.

In my new position at Fontis, I have been tasked with continuing development on a somewhat larger project for an external client. It doesn’t sound like anything too dramatic - web site written in PHP, using the CakePHP framework, and driven by a database. I just didn’t factor in Murphy’s Law.
There has been a disturbing lack of activity on this blog over the last month but, rest assured, I am still alive and well. I’ve been taking a holiday of sorts from blogging but now I plan on getting back to business.
The new year has brought a change for me - I am now working at Fontis IT alongside two of my friends from my days at uni (when I was still a student that is); it’s nice knowing other people at work right off the bat. I’m still continuing with the jobs I was doing before but now I have a nicer place to work (an office in the city) and the promise of further projects to work on after I’m done with my current batch . Overall I think it should be beneficial for everyone!
So, happy new year, I’m back, back again (tell a friend) and I hope to get some good posts up soon. I predict the first will be dealing with my further experience with ExtJS and jQuery.
