You can implement a real-time application such as an application to follow the price for market stocks as well. Also, you can use Ext JS to do what your imagination is up to. In this chapter, Ext JS will be used to build a theme for WordPress. If you are not familiar with WordPress, it is a web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. In other words, it is a content management tool for blogging. You will notice that the approach we will use is completely different from the approach we have used so far to develop our applications in the previous chapters.
