The Best tool for building Sencha (Ext JS) applications are? - extjs

I started working on Ext JS, but the building process has always been a headache to me as I always used notepad..
Can you suggest some tools which help me build the Ext JS applications easily....

Initial GUI Setup (if you're feeling lazy!)
Ext Designer
IDE for further development
Aptana Studio or CodeRun (online) or eCoder (online)
Bug testing during development
Firebug
Debugging the final layer of polish
YSlow for Firebug

I'm usually a fan of Eclipse, but Check out PHPStorm, it has better colouring, works well with libraries and does refactoring.

Try Aptana Studio + Firebug. Plus a handset of each type you intend to code for.
Also, see this link for an answer to a similar question:
"Debugging" ExtJS script

TextMate? It's really a matter of personal preference.

I recommend Textpad - I've been using it for 12 years now.

Spket IDE is powerful toolkit for working with JavaScript Framework like extjs.
You can also use Eclipse and Spket plugin for developing better javascript code. Visist http://www.spket.com/ for more details.

Upgrading Bootstrap SASS in Visual Studio hosted Angular app

I have an application that is using an ASP.NET MVC project and controllers that is an envelope to an Angular-based SPA hosted inside of that project. Previous developers implemented SASS port of Bootstrap 3.3.0 and I need to get it up to 3.3.7. Most documentation on the Official Port of Bootstrap 2/3 is catering to ruby/npm implementations. How does one keep up on updates effectively in a Visual Studio world or should I simply update it externally using rake, ruby, npm, etc? Any guides or assistance is welcome. Thanks in advance.
After more research it looks like rake and the instructions found on the twbs readme may be sufficient from a command line standpoint but if anyone has further thoughts feel free to add.

Also have found a Nuget package that may provide better support than the handrolled version in place in the project now. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Twitter.Bootstrap.Sass/

Sencha app packaging to desktop application

I developed a sencha app and ported it to IOS and Android successfully.I need to build a desktop application from the same.I used sencha's packager and it was a success.Unfortunately it was a trial version.
I used Tide SDK but the sencha list UI is not perfect on scrolling.And store data is not getting sometime.
Can anyone suggest other opensource packagers to make my sencha app to desktop application.
Pls help me.I was looking this for long time.
Thanks in advance.
you can try intel's node-webkit, it is one of the other tools that people are switching to. it's open source.

Absolutely, try out Brackets shell. We use that to create desktop apps on Mac and Windows. The wiki explains how to build your apps nice and simple

How can automation testing on Silverlight using Selenium be done?

I am looking for a way by which I can automate my application build on Silverlight.
I need to use Selenium as required, can anyone tell a process or any good tutorial by which I can achieve what I require.
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at:
http://code.google.com/p/silverlight-selenium/
and
Silverlight testing: Watin vs Selenium comparison
Also bear in mind that Silverlight's future looks uncertain:
http://www.hightechnewstoday.com/apr-2011-high-tech-news-archives/74-apr-13-2011-high-tech-news.shtml and http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/11/09/microosft.may.axe.silverlight.after.major.release/
etc. etc.
So you may prefer to consider HTML5 for future projects after completing your current Silverlight project, as HTML5 has a brighter future because of its cross browser support and efficiency compared with proprietary technologies like Flash and Silverlight.
I suggest Sikulix which a desktop automation tool using which you can automate almost everything. which uses text interpretation of image so that us can locate your component.
If you are using python selenium i suggest to use pyautogui which is nice python package to automate silverlight web pages.

Are there any TFS plugins available for the Force.com IDE?

Are there any TFS plugins available for the Force.com IDE? We are trying to centralise our CRM, and we would like to have TFS integration in Force.com IDE.
Which plugins are available? Which have you found most useful.
Does anyone know about this, which plugins are available?
We need this as we already have a historical repository in TFS with respect to the existing application framework. We are likely to add couple of more Force.com utilities to the framework. Hence it would be more mangeable to have a single repository rather having it on multiple ends. Any Idea will be appreciated
Well, force.com IDE is essentially a customized Eclipse so a TFS plugin for eclipse should in theory work, check here.
Though, I am not certain why you need it, SF sandbox itself in combination with Force.com IDE is a form of merge-based Apex source repository.
Just to clarify things first. The Force.com IDE is built as a plugin for the eclipse editor. There are many many other plugins for eclipse. What you want is http://www.teamprise.com/index.html - this however is not free. If you have an MSDN account it should be available to you already.
I use eclipse with the Force.com plugin and the subclipse (subversion) plugin side by side and it works quite well. So I'd assume with a bit of tinkering you can get teamprise working alongside the force.com plugin.

extjs IDE for faster development

Is there a good IDE available for extjs development? So that you do not need to refer to API to see which events/methods are supported by a object?
There are plugins for Eclipse, Spiket IDE and Aptana that will do code-suggest. However, you should always refer to the API as there may be cases where nuances to the functionality can be understood. There are often in-depth examples of how the code must be implemented to work correctly.
There is an Aptana plugin (Eclipse based plugin for Aptana IDE).. I have not used it though. May be you can give it a try.
You can get the plugin from Sencha forum - Link: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?89417-3.X.X-Aptana-plugin
i use eclipse and spket plugin...
spket also support other js framework, like jquery, prototype, YUI, etc
Miha Trtnik. have a good article to that.
http://www.webeks.net/extjs/eclipse-javascript-plugin-ext-js.html
If you are simply looking for code completion spket and aptana studio are the way to go.
