It is written to maximize your experience with the library by breaking down each component and walking you through examples that progressively build up your knowledge, taking you from beginner to advanced user in a series of easy-to-follow steps. Throughout the book, you'll learn how to create a basic implementation of each component, then customize and configure the components to tailor them to your application.Each chapter will also show you the custom events fired by the components covered and how these events can be intercepted and acted upon to bring out the best of the library.We will then go on to cover the use of visually engaging, highly configurable user interface widgets.
