Event listeners in Sencha Touch 2, the Ext JS approach

Event listeners in Sencha Touch 2 is a bit different than in Ext JS. This article shows how you can still stay close to Ext JS.

I have been developing Ext JS for a long time now and recently I have started with Sencha Touch 2. And while I am at it, I have the feeling that the Ext JS team and the Touch team are lately not in the same building.

Thanks for this!
Very useful article.
It explains in a very cleaner way how to use listeners with MVC in a correct way.
I think it is also the explanation of the following question :
