ahoo User Interface (YUI) is an open source JavaScript library for developing AJAX-based rich user interfaces. The new Yahoo Mail uses YUI, so you might imagine how powerful the library is. This is the first article in a three-part series that primarily targets Java developers who are not JavaScript experts, but are developing web applications with server-side frameworks (such as JavaServer Pages, Struts, or Spring). In this installment, JavaScript novices will see how to use YUI for setup and design , and should learn a good deal about object-oriented JavaScript programming. For developers already expert in JavaScript, this article series serves as an introduction to the YUI library.
The next two articles in the series will cover the following:
Containers, layouts, widgets, event handling, AJAX components, and server-side interaction
DataTable, pagination, sorting, JSON, and error handling
