Sessions at YUIConf 2010 about YUI3 on Wednesday 10th November

A look inside some of the core patterns and infrastructure pieces that lie at the heart of YUI 3. This talk is not about sugar; there will be JavaScript. You've been warned.

Liferay's Nate Cavanaugh and Eduardo Lundgren will discuss the best practices they've learned in building and extending YUI3 components, ways to work with the grain of development and ways to form your own grain. This talk will cover topics such as how handle automatic binding and syncing of attributes for widgets, sharing skins across widgets, and optimizing your dependencies.

In this talk, Satyen will share YUI's approach to supporting the new set of web enabled devices on the market today, and how we'd like to think of them in terms of features and constraints as opposed to an isolated problem space.

A robust loading strategy is one of the most important pieces when you think about optimization for high traffic websites. YUI Loader is a wonderful piece of software, and learning how to leverage it is a MUST-HAVE for YUI developers. Dynamic injections, controlling early user interactions, parallel downloads, preloading asssets, and window-iframe loading strategies are some of the topics that Caridy will cover in this presentation that examines Yahoo! Search as a case study.
