It’s awesome what a little downtime can do. I now have some time to explore the current state of web technologies such as AJAX (It’s not just for cleaning anymore!) and Macromedia Flex. Today, I decided to explore the various javascript libraries graciously provided by the developers at Yahoo!.
Yahoo! User Interface [YUI] Library
Lots of different interface patterns and APIs are available. My lament would be “where was this 2 years ago when I started design on SACWIS?”, as several patterns I attempted to create along the way are captured here. Very cool stuff. I am so trying some of this new stuff out on the gui girl UI playground.
