DESCRIPTION
This session will discuss the “TouchForums” mobile app, which is built with SenchaTouch and currently in development. The app combines features available in the Sencha forums and the support portal. In its current state, the app runs on Sencha Touch 1.1.1, but will be migrated to Sencha Touch 2.0 in the near future. From an architectural level the app is built using MVC, and incorporates history support and unit tests run via Jasmine/JsTestRunner.
