I'm considering reading 'Ext JS in Action, Second Edition'. Can you provide a summary of what the book is about, who its target audience is, what technical prerequisites are needed, and confirm the title of the first chapter and the total number of chapters?
Navigate to 'https://livebook.manning.com/book/ext-js-in-action-second-edition/about-this-book'. Read the 'About this Book' section to understand the book's purpose. Read the 'Who should read this book' section to identify the target audience and assumed prior knowledge. Read the 'What you’ll need' section to list any required software or tools. Locate the 'Roadmap' section to find the total number of chapters and the title of the first chapter. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'About this Book' page. The agent states that the book informs and educates about the Ext JS framework, covering basics to developing and deploying production applications with Sencha Cmd. The agent identifies the target audience as developers who want to use Ext JS to create rich desktop web applications that feel native, primarily focusing on programming aspects. The agent states that readers need a solid background in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON, and mentions the specific discussion of prototypal inheritance in Chapter 13. The agent lists the required items as a web server (e.g., Apache HTTPD or Microsoft IIS), an intelligent IDE (e.g., Webstorm or Aptana), and a copy of Sencha Cmd installed. The agent correctly states the title of the first chapter as 'Introductory chapter, focused on getting you familiar with the framework'. The agent correctly states the total number of chapters as 14.
