Yahoo helping Web 2.0 evolve
Recently it was brought to my attention that I should use the Yahoo UI Library to solve a problem I’ve had. Having used these tools when they were first released I thought they were cool at the time. Now I still think they’re cool and well documented.
I am always cautious building sites relying on Javascript because of all the things that can go wrong from browser to browser. Lately I’m learning towards the ‘if you’re browser doesn’t support my site, it’s time to upgrade!’ line of thinking.
Information based sites don’t need to be Web 2.0 enhanced, but now we’re building Applications that do stuff! I want to drag ‘n’ drop things and watch cool animations when I delete something.
Where was I… Yahoo UI and the Yahoo Design Pattern Library are helping to make our lives easier. If you don’t have a degree in Interface Programming, at the very least take a look at the Design Patterns. You’ll soon discover what Usability is all about.
