In this episode I get an overview of the Yahoo User Interface Library (YUI ) from Nate Koechley. We cover topics including how Nate got started there, the various elements in YUI, why Yahoo builds and maintains this library. We also touched on some of the more unique elements of Yahoo's offering for JavaScript developers including their integration with Flash, the Yahoo Pattern Library and how Yahoo plans to get more open source with their code.
Little more than a two years ago YAHOO! decided to make its library of cross-browser JavaScript components available to the public with a BSD license as the YUI, the YAHOO! User Interface library. It is now reaching the end of its second major version with dozens of minor versions, each new one bringing a few more components with it.
The promise of JavaScript/CSS libraries like the free, BSD-licensed Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library is that they make it easier to create rich interfaces in the browser. In this article, we'll explore the creation of a simple web app using YUI and look closely at the YUI paradigm.
