About the Book: YUI 2.8: Learning the Library

YUI 2.8: Learning the Library Written by Daniel Barreiro & Dan Wellman,, YUI 2.8: Learning the Library covers all released (non-beta) components of the YUI 2.8 Library in detail with plenty of working examples, looking at the classes that make up each component and the properties and methods that can be used. It includes a series of practical examples to reinforce how each component should/can be used, showing its use to create complex, fully featured, cross-browser, Web 2.0 user interfaces. It has been updated from its first edition with the addition of several chapters covering several new controls and enriched with lots of experience of using them.

You will learn to create a number of powerful JavaScript controls that can be used straightaway in your own applications. Besides giving you a deep understanding of the YUI library, this book will expand your knowledge of object-oriented JavaScript programming, as well as strengthen your understanding of the DOM and CSS. The final chapter describes many of the tools available to assist you the developer in debugging, maintaining, and ensuring the best quality in your code.

    Always loved how YUI was comprehensive enough to handle all components and widgets of a typical webapps. jQuery and jQueryUI are great but have different goals and are more basic. I’d love to get my head around the YUI syntax.

  • Alberto

    Great!

    Funny. Just yesterday I was looking at YUI to decide if I wanted to start learning it or an alternative! I think my mind is made up now :-)

    The book will help me because learning programming concepts from a book is 1000% better than from online tutorials, imo.

    Thanks for the opportunity!
