Empty Thoughts

I was very excited to see that Yahoo! released version 2.4.0 of the YUI javascript framework. I’m especially excited about the selector stuff as well as the Get Utility. Get Utility is something I’ve been waiting for a long time.

I began working with YUI very early on in the release cycle. For me it was most attractive because t seemed very stable and polished and the docs have just been tremendous every step of the way. There were other frameworks at the time but they were either horribly lacking in good documentation or seemed to be a collection point for everything and anything without any real focus on stability.

The past few months I’ve been really getting into JQuery because it’s simple and intuitive interface, lightweight footprint, and excellent documentation. Although, with these recent additions to YUI I may just have to consider going back for the development of my largish, yet to be named, project I’m working on.

To coincide with the new release of Yahoo YUI Javascript library, and one year anniversary, Yahoo! has decided to provide hosting of all the YUI files, include old versions of the Javascript libraries. This means high reliability and increased speed from serving up compressed versions of the files to all users.
