I’m a little late on this one, but I was just reading through some queued blog posts and discovered that Ext has teamed up with CacheFly to host their JavaScript library.
This is big news. I still haven’t quite figured out why Google doesn’t serve Ext through their “AJAX Libraries API” (I assume it has something to do with Ext’s licensing), but now that we can get it from somewhere else, this is no longer a worry.
Developers using Ext can instantly take advantage of fast delivery and caching by pointing to the resources on CacheFly. Here are the urls for ext-all.js and ext-all.css:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://extjs.cachefly.net/ext-2.2/ext-all.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://extjs.cachefly.net/ext-2.2/resources/css/ext-all.css" />
And CacheFly will also host your custom build of Ext, so if you aren’t using some of the controls in your application, go and build your own Ext using the Build It! tool. You’ll be given the choice to dump the build on CacheFly.
