Caveat : I don't have a better suggestion for this book. It's as good a starting place as any.
As with all things Sencha, this book has great information. Lots of it. In various formats. In various orders. Using various methodologies. With no real starting and stopping point.
Learning any Sencha product is a nightmare. Ext JS - nightmare. Sencha Touch - nightmare. Sencha Cmd - nightmare.
The problem is that no one has a single tutorial for starting a project and walking through finishing it. They all start with some overview. Then, they explain a little of the Class system. Then, they describe something else. Then, they start describing how to begin with Sencha Cmd. Next thing you know, they are off on another topic without having every finished explaining Sencha Cmd.
So, this book is just like every other Sencha related tutorial : all over the place.
I think this problem stems from Sencha itself. Sencha doesn't list a single complete walk-through of building anything but the most trivial app in Ext JS or Sencha Touch. There are a million samples. A million demos. Not a single coherent app from start to finish.
Will you learn something from this book? Absolutely. Will you learn how to begin and finish even a rudimentary app from first step to putting it on your phone? No.
I apologize for ranting. I truly was hoping this book would start at A and end at Z.

THE Book for Sencha Touch

已在美国亚马逊上发表已确认购买
I have tried reasonably hard over the past year to learn how to write apps with Sencha Touch and have bought two other books and digested handfuls of online video to get me there, but with very little luck. There was always two or more dots left unjoined. Until I read (then quickly re-read) this book.
What was beautiful about this book was the build up... a bit of history (the "how we got here" is great stage-setter) then an explanation of the fundamentals and core elements. However, instead of pure programmer instructions so typical of these types of books, Adrian continues to disarmingly open the door a little more in every chapter. At the end you know where the walls and doors are, which way is up, where everything is placed and why it's there for Sencha Touch 2.
The author is clearly comfortable with the subject matter and could have easily come across "professor-like" in his instruction. Instead, his passion for the framework shines through in his writing and makes it easy to get excited about what you can do with Sencha Touch when you're done with the book.
I wish more frameworks had a book like this accompanying them. This is the ideal reference for digging deep with Sencha Touch 2.

Brings some order to the chaos

If you buy this book on Day 1 of working with Sencha Touch I can see why you wouldn't rate it well. It seems like a regurgitation of the online docs. But after struggling to get Sencha working well for two weeks I came back to this book, and found that what it did was make sense of the online documentation. While the online docs often seem like they were just thrown out there ad-hoc, the value of this book is that it brings order to the chaos. It also offers more useful examples, and hints at helpful patterns and approaches.
So, based on my experience, I wouldn't buy this book on Day 1, but if after a week or two you're still fighting to understand the documentation, as well as patterns and potential best practices, I'd buy this book then.

More like an extension of Sencha's documentation

If you're looking to learn how to build a mobile application with Sencha Touch, this is NOT the book to buy. There's no tutorial, no building of a basic system, then slowly adding more and more complex functionality until you finally have a finished, polished application that's taught you how to use the framework. That's what I was looking for when I bought this book, and this ain't it. Instead, think of it as a more detailed book documenting the API. If the book had been titled "Sencha Touch Reference", then I would've given it a higher rating, but if you're going to have in the title "Up and Running", I'd expect to, you know, have something up and running once I was done. Nope.

This books tells you nothing that you could not get from the already pitiful documentation provided by Sencha. I've yet to see anything published that is actually helpful, so this book is in "good" company.
Lots "data" but poorly organized. What's worse, is that you would never want to write a Sencha application using any of the techniques suggested by the book. It doesn't scale, it's not testable, and the examples, while fine on their own, don't get you "Up and Running" in any real sense.
