At our September WebSigCleveland.org (http://websigcleveland.org/) meeting, Durlabh Jain (@Durlabh (https://twitter.com/durlabh)) will discuss the major differences in planning a WebApp vs Website, and frameworks around these. He will introduce some of the common frameworks widely used for front-end development, and then focus on ExtJS (http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs)/Sencha Touch (http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/).

He will also cover the situations where jQuery (http://jquery.com/) is better and where ExtJS/Sencha Touch may be better. Finally, there will be a quick walkthrough of creating an app using ExtJS and Sencha Touch.
