Sencha Touch MVC + Phonegap App

So after using Sencha Touch, i found it hard to find good examples of creating a MVC app with Sencha Touch.  So i found the book Sencha Touch in Action, which provides a example of using Sencha Touch with the MVC design pattern.  I decided to take that example and expand on it and create a base (template) app using this approach.  The base app would have navigation, lists, and a form with local storage.  I also decided to include Phonegap so if i desired i could get at the phone hardware.  I now have this up, it is a best attempt at doing this, and isnt 100% done, but not too far off.  If others have examples/suggestions on making this base app more clean in a MVC way, i would LOVE suggestions.   Hopefully this will help others.  Here is the GitHub for the app.  Again.. this is a best attempt at this, suggestions would be greatly suggested!

Great site for small/specific JS Frameworks

MicroJS.com

AMAZING resource for good really small JS frameworks.  These come in handy when writing mobile apps, because of their size and specific functionality.  I have only played with JO.js, Backbone.js, and heard alot about Lawnchair.js...  Any other good ones that arent listed?..

Good Sencha Touch book

  Sencha Touch in Action

  This is a great book about the new Sencha mobile framework.   You might remember that Sencha Touch is now a part of what was ExtJS.  Like most people learning Sencha (ExtJS) was          probably a nightmare.  The learning curve on it is steep, at least it was for me.  I found this book did a great job explaining the overall framework, and gave a great sample app that takes  advantage of alot of the major Sencha Touch features, including local storage.  It also does a excellent job explaing the essential part of Sencha (ExtJs) and that is the  Container/Component/Panel dynamic.  This was something i struggled with for awhile.  Anyway .. check it out!
