YUI 2.8 Learning the Library

YUI 2.8 Learning the Library, 9781849510707 (1849510709), Packt Publishing, 2010

The YUI Library has grown and improved since the first edition of this book. Several components came out of beta or experimental status and most of them will be covered in new chapters or added to related chapters, which will now have more than the two components originally presented. The coding style has changed and that will be reflected in the examples, which have been modified accordingly.

New developer tools have appeared to make code more reliant, to reduce loading time, to debug, test, and do performance profiling and we will take a look at them.

The biggest change is the release of version 3 of the YUI Library. YUI3 has recently had its first General Availability (GA) release which includes the most basic components, the infrastructure of the whole library. The Widget component, the basis for all the components that will have a User Interface (UI) is still Beta so there are no visual components in GA. YUI3 still has some way to go to achieve the variety of UI components of YUI2 and, above all, the maturity and reliability of its code base. Thus, this book will be based on the current YUI 2.8 release of the library. YUI2 is not dead by any measure; development continues and future releases will come when and if any significant number of changes warrant it.
