YUI Theater – Jenny Donnelly: “Hacking With YUI”

March 19, 2009 at 7:43 am by Eric Miraglia | In Development, YUI Theater | 8 Comments

Jenny Donnelly, Senior Engineer, YUI Team

Jenny Donnelly is the author of YUI’s DataSource, AutoComplete and DataTable components and the lead editor of YUIBlog. In this session, “Hacking with YUI,” Jenny provides an overview of the library and some strategies for leveraging its power in a rapid prototyping environment.

Jenny identifies four key problems that YUI helps to solve:

  1. Bringing data into the page dynamically;
  2. Providing widgets that help build out the UI;
  3. Providing widgets that allow the user to interact with information;
  4. Providing mechanisms for making data user-editable.

Slides and code samples from Jenny’s talk are available for download.

Our thanks to Eric Wu for organizing the Hack Day sessions and for allowing the YUI Theater crew to shoot Jenny’s talk.

  3. @David — Yahoo Video does appear to be having some issues this morning. If you reload the page a couple of times, the video should come up. If not, try downloading the m4v version. Sorry for the trouble — I know that’s frustrating. -Eric

  6. I wonder whether you provide some transcripts of Douglas Crockford’s JavaScript trilogy at YUI Theater (“The JavaScript Programming Language”, “Theory of The DOM”, and “Advanced JavaScript”). I do really need those transcripts to get fully grasp on what Crockford actually said or meant about. So, I really need your favor Eric. Are those transcripts available on the web now?

  7. Budi — We don’t have transcripts of the Douglas Crockford videos for the most part. However, when we reshoot his series later this year we’ll do transcripts at that time. -Eric
