If you like this post, please buy me a coffee.These two weeks, I had the chances to play with ExtJS. The widgets are just amazing! Although I have lots of frustation (and hair losses) due to API docs are not beginner friendly (strictly my opinion), lots of other resources available on the net to help me to get started. Official user documentation would be helpful if they provided one, though. Fortunately, using the widgets couldn’t have been easier and they provided examples with the download. So now, with ExtJS, I can build desktop-like GUI in a jiffy so I have more times developing the backend.
In terms of licensing, I’m pretty much unclear of what I can and can’t do if I opted using GPL. But If I’m not mistaken, when a library is GPLed, everything built on top of that library needs to be GPLed too (is that correct?). Certainly, commercial license is the way to go if I want to sell a product that make use of ExtJS extensively but USD289 (that’s about RM965.26) for a single developer license is not a cheap price to pay. Despite the price, ExtJS is a robust javascript framework and I’ll be glad to support them, if I had money. 
Last month, Mike Chambers thru Ajaxian generously offered free copies of this book. Quickly, I send him an email. About three weeks after that, a mail package came in at my office. I was delighted to see that he managed to include extra freebies (Adobe RIA AS3 Reference Guide and a very nice AIR sticker) along with the book. Although the offer has ended, one can still freely download the pdf here or read it online at toString.org.
If you like this post, please buy me a coffee.After studying for few months, I finally has the courage to take Zend PHP 5 Exam. Being a good 300km away from Kuala Lumpur, I had to book a hotel room and travel there a day before the exam day.
At the test center, I presented my MyKad and a driver’s license to the test administrator. Much to my dismay I was barred from taking the exam because of these really really really really ridiculous rules:-
Please be prepared to show two (2) forms of personal ID.
Both must have your signature, and one of the two must have your photo. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for an exam and are refused admission, payments are due for the exam and delivery fees.
The test admin told me that she cannot verify my identity because the cards do not bear my signatures although both have photos. In my sane opinion, identification card are issued by government to their citizens and one of its purposes is to verify the identity of the bearer! Why not just accept the damn cards? The situation goes from awkward to absurd as she asked me for a credit card, just to see the damn signature. Not everyone can afford a credit card and I’m one of them! Don’t even ask for a passport! I don’t even know that a credit card is a valid form of personal ID.
So, I spent one more day in Kuala Lumpur, having high hopes that VUE will let me take the exam but unfortunately they informed me they were unable to help as ‘rules are rules’.
