O HAI!

I’m Chris

Thursday I left London

Yesterday at the same time I
was away presenting at an
Open Source conference.

Ankara is different...

32 hours, 10 on planes, 7 in
airports.

Ankara is different...

I took of my shoes 6 times,
my belt 4 times and booted
up my computer 6 times to
show it is not a bo...

So if I seem confused, this is
the reason (not the mini bar)

How to show it?

YUI is...
Never gonna give you up

YUI is not a JavaScript library.
It is a full development
framework from design
patterns to release tools.

For every stage there is
something for you.

Core
DOM Collection Event Utility
Utilities
Animation Cookie Connection Manager Datasource
Drag and Drop Element Get Utility History Manager ImageLoader
JSON Utility Resize Utility Selector Utility YUI Loader
Widgets
Auto-Complete Button Calendar Charts Color Picker
Container Data Table ImageCropper Layout Manager Menu
Rich Text Editor Slider Tab View Tree View Uploader
CSS tools
CSS reset CSS base CSS grids CSS fonts

Fully documented, with lots
and lots of examples.

YUI is...
Never gonna let you down

YUI is built by Yahoo for our
needs and to make us work
effectively together world-
wide.

If it works for us and supports
our scale – it is very likely to
be good enough for you, too.

YUI is...
Never gonna run around and
desert you

There is a massive community
supporting the YUI. Subscribe
to the list and you will get
information very quickly.

If you’ve built something cool
using it, tell us and we’ll tell
the world.

YUI is...
Never gonna make you cry

The biggest frustration of web
developers is browser
inconsistencies.

YUI is built with the Graded
Browser Support as one of its
core principles and will work
with the supported ones.

YUI is...
Never gonna say goodbye

So what if something terrible
happens to Yahoo?

Fork it!

YUI is open source, BSD
licensed.

YUI is...
Never gonna tell a lie and
hurt you

One very cool thing is that
YUI is not silent.

You will know when things go
wrong and it is easy to trace
what happened.

You have full control and get
notified about things that
work and fail inside it.

Development tools like the
YUI logger, the testing
framework and the profiler
allow you to build
professionally.

YUI would never:
Say goodbye
Make you cry Tell a lie
Give you up
Run around and
desert you Let you down

What else is cooking?

We’ve taken web successes
from the past...

And brought them into our
infrastructure.

SearchMonkey opens Yahoo
search result pages for
developers.

Much like GreaseMonkey
opens all web sites for
developers.

The difference is that users
don’t need to use Mozilla but
install scripts in their Yahoo
profile instead.

These scripts (monkeys) are
triggered by URL matching
and enhance the search
result display.

There are two types of
enhancements.

Enhanced results override the
original display.

Infobars add drop-down
menus:

You write your monkeys in
secure PHP
(no file or cookie nasties allowed)

And you can use any
information we know about
this URL.

And if there is not enough
information...

Use XML-Based Atom Feeds,
RDF markups, Microformats,
OpenSearch data or build a
Custom Data Service.

For example:

Using microformats in the
BBC site, we can display
showtimes of programs
already in the result page:
