Learning the Yahoo!

Learning the Yahoo! User Interface Library introduces the popular open-source YUI JavaScript library and takes the user through each of the fully released components in detail looking at the classes that make up each component and the properties and methods that can be used. It includes a series of practical examples to reinforce how each component should/can be used.¿ Author Dan Wellman takes the reader from beginner to advanced-level YUI usage and understanding. This book is for web developers comfortable with JavaScript and CSS, who want to use the YUI library to easily put together rich, responsive web interfaces. No knowledge of the YUI library is presumed.

The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library is arguably the best JavaScript- and CSS-based collection of tools and controls for web development. The YUI team has carefully tested them on all modern browser platforms to assure near 100% compatibility across them all. They provide excellent documentation, both online and downloadable. And it's all free Open Source.

However, while each component is well documented with text and examples, there remains a need of putting it all together. This book fulfills that need in part. Admittedly, a single application that incorporates a large number of examples would be too complex to follow, but I would have liked to see more interaction. The book is riddled with errors. Most of them, fortunately, are so obvious that you wonder how they escaped an editor.

Dan Wellman is a Brit. His wry British sense of humor makes the book a pleasure to read.
