/**
+ * @class Ext.app.Application
+ * @constructor
+ * 
+ * Represents an Ext JS 4 application, which is typically a single page app using a {@link Ext.container.Viewport Viewport}.
+ * A typical Ext.app.Application might look like this:
+ * 
+ * Ext.application({
+     name: 'MyApp',
+     launch: function() {
+         Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
+             items: {
+                 html: 'My App'
+             }
+         });
+     }
+ });
+ * 
+ * This does several things. First it creates a global variable called 'MyApp' - all of your Application's classes (such
+ * as its Models, Views and Controllers) will reside under this single namespace, which drastically lowers the chances
+ * of colliding global variables.
+ * 
+ * When the page is ready and all of your JavaScript has loaded, your Application's {@link #launch} function is called,
+ * at which time you can run the code that starts your app. Usually this consists of creating a Viewport, as we do in
+ * the example above.
+ * 
+ * <u>Telling Application about the rest of the app</u>
+ * 
+ * Because an Ext.app.Application represents an entire app, we should tell it about the other parts of the app - namely
+ * the Models, Views and Controllers that are bundled with the application. Let's say we have a blog management app; we
+ * might have Models and Controllers for Posts and Comments, and Views for listing, adding and editing Posts and Comments.
+ * Here's how we'd tell our Application about all these things:
+ * 
+ * Ext.application({
+     name: 'Blog',
+     models: ['Post', 'Comment'],
+     controllers: ['Posts', 'Comments'],
+
+     launch: function() {
+         ...
+     }
+ });
+ * 
+ * Note that we didn't actually list the Views directly in the Application itself. This is because Views are managed by
+ * Controllers, so it makes sense to keep those dependencies there. The Application will load each of the specified 
+ * Controllers using the pathing conventions laid out in the <a href="../guide/application_architecture">application 
+ * architecture guide</a> - in this case expecting the controllers to reside in app/controller/Posts.js and
+ * app/controller/Comments.js. In turn, each Controller simply needs to list the Views it uses and they will be
+ * automatically loaded. Here's how our Posts controller like be defined:
+ * 
+ * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Posts', {
+     extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
+     views: ['posts.List', 'posts.Edit'],
+
+     //the rest of the Controller here
+ });
+ * 
+ * Because we told our Application about our Models and Controllers, and our Controllers about their Views, Ext JS will
+ * automatically load all of our app files for us. This means we don't have to manually add script tags into our html
+ * files whenever we add a new class, but more importantly it enables us to create a minimized build of our entire 
+ * application using the Ext JS 4 SDK Tools.
+ * 
+ * For more information about writing Ext JS 4 applications, please see the <a href="../guide/application_architecture">
+ * application architecture guide</a>.
