The YUI Library is an open-source, a la carte JavaScript library for building richly interactive Web apps using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML, and AJAX. This library, free for the world to use, is the exact same code that is used globally and at massive scale on scores of Yahoo! sites. In this session, Yahoo!'s Nate Koechley will talk (and answer questions) about the design and technical philosophies behind the YUI. You'll learn what the library can do for you today, where it's heading, why and how Yahoo! decided to open-source it, and examples of its use in the wild. You'll hear why you might like using it (and how it stacks up with the other leading libraries), and discuss examples of how it can help you provide an improved user experience for your visitors.
