Learning the Yahoo! User Interface library

Learning the Yahoo! User Interface LibraryLearning the Yahoo! User Interface Library was written to help people with a basic knowledge of JavaScript and web design principles to quickly get up to speed with the UI library developed by Yahoo. The book covers a selection of some of the most established utilities and controls found in the library, but it does not go into detail on any of the beta or experimental components.

Each chapter of the book focuses on one, or a maximum of two, individual utilities or controls, and is broken down into theory and practice sections. The theory sections of each chapter discuss the benefits of the component being looked at, the situations it would be most useful in and looks at the classes from which it is constructed. The code sections walk you through implementing and configuring the component in step by step detail.

No previous experience of the YUI library is required, although an understanding of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is assumed. Other technologies such as PHP and mySQL are used in places throughout the book, although these are not explained in great detail as they fall outside of the book’s scope.

By the time you finish this book you’ll be well on your way to mastering the library and will have increased the number of web design tools and techniques at your disposal exponentially.

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.
