Work on your HTML/CSS, javascript skills and then address Sencha Touch. It is pretty much required you know those other technologies. - raidfive

Let me guess, you're attending Senchacon right now?

Sencha Touch is based on ExtJS, which has a notoriously steep learning curve. ExtJS 4 will simplify things a bit, so maybe Sencha Touch is also more newbie friendly.

Here's the startup guide: http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/getting-started.html

Here's the docs: http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/docs/

No XML needed. Strong understanding of HTML, Javascript, and CSS are highly recommended but not absolutely required if you have a programming background.

This is what I did :

Goto this link : http://vimeo.com/channels/sencha

Start with the videos in the following order :

  1. Layouts
  2. Tabs & Toolbars
  3. Forms

By now you should be relatively comfortable in the Framework. Explore !! Cheers
