Slide 3: Happy Birthday YUI! (and ypatterns) • What’s the difference between YUI and the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library? • Who cares? It shouldn’t matter. • How do they work together? • Coordinated roadmaps • Cross-links (also with Astra: autocomplete) • Integrated redesign* • Lucas Pettinati = the glue
