Cheat Sheets for the YUI Utilities
June 2, 2006 at 9:08 am by Eric Miraglia | In Development |
Comprehensive documentation for the YUI Library is found online at the YUI section of the Yahoo! Developer Connection website.
To supplement this online documentation, the YUI development team has begun drafting some cheat sheets — inspired by the handy references published by ilovejackdaniels, among others — that give you a one-page dashboard of documentation for each of the library’s components. When you find yourself elbow-deep in a coding problem, sometimes it’s quicker to turn to these rather than firing up a browser to review documentation and examples. Moreover, reviewing the cheat sheets can help you discover hidden gems you didn’t know were there. If you’re wondering, for example, what the syntax is for batching a function on an element collection, the Dom Collection’s cheat sheet might be enough to get you started:

These one-page references aren’t comprehensive, but we think you’ll find them valuable to have on hand. Today, draft references for each of the YUI Utility components (Event Utility, Dom Collection, Connection Manager, Drag and Drop, and Animation) are available:
Update 2006/08/03: I’ve updated the links here to point to the download area on the Yahoo Developer Network rather than at the YUI v.0.10 cheat sheet zip file. Since this post was made, YUI has incremented to 0.11 and a bunch of new cheat sheets have been added. The latest zip file should always be available from this location on YDN. -EM

Excellent idea. I’m already using Grids in all my new projects and this will make using the other YUI offerings that much easier.

Cool! Btw, must I only code applications using the API for Yahoo! or can I use them with my personal projects be it commercial or non-commercial.
Any licensing issue?

On Open Source Citizenship…
With a title like “Why Google and Yahoo! can’t be better open source citizens” one might think that our companies were squeezing as much as possible out of the open source world and giving little back. But after reading Matt Assay’s post a few time…
