Sencha Touch 2 Beta—Raising The Bar »

Sencha Touch 2 is another huge leap forward for rich mobile web apps. In addition to some of the huge performance improvements (40fps on Android?!), the new beta includes:

  • A huge documentation upgrade, including 20 new guides.
  • New Facebook integration demo
  • A new class system, which allows for bootstrapping (dynamically loading) applications.
  • An MVC application architecture, with history support
  • Awesome new navigation view (with iOS-like card animations by default)
  • Device profiling for dealing with different resolutions and platforms

I can honestly say that Sencha Touch stands on its own when it comes to creating rich mobile apps using web technology. Download it today and start coding!

Sencha Touch 2 Developer Preview, Available Now

This video shows a side-by-side comparison of the Kitchen Sink demo orientation change on an Android Motorola Atrix in Touch 1.1 and in our latest version of Touch 2. The new layout engine in Touch 2 is so fast we had to use a high speed camera to measure it. We shot this video at 120 frames per second, then slowed the video down to ¼ speed so you can see the detail.

Sencha Touch 2 features performance updates across the board — In load time, scrolling speed, and rendering (especially on Android). Additionally, we have a whole new documentation app, which is easier to use, includes more resources, and features 11 new guides. Lastly, this release includes Native Packaging in our SDK tools, allowing you to publish your web app to the iOS App Store and Android Marketplace.

Just posted a new footer design to the Sencha website with more navigation, some social links, and Google Translate widget. Shown above is our site in Arabic, which, thanks to Typekit, looks pretty fantastic. We even have some rough RTL support!
