I would like to thank my family, especially my mom and my elder brother, who always provided me with proper guidelines, and my wife for her constant support. I would also like to thank my ex-colleagues from whom I've learned a lot and with whom I've enjoyed working. I would also like to thank Sencha team members as it is because of their hard work I got this loving framework.
