• Hacking with YUI

  by Luke Smith

  This presentation will be a quick introduction to YUI version 3.3.0 and some of its core functions that should be most useful for building your hacks. We'll cover DOM manipulation and event subscription, animations, drag and drop, Ajax and YQL, and how to use CSS Grids for layout. (After my talk, keep your seats for Reid Burke's talk where he takes it to the server!)

• Achieving Greatness with Node.js

  Server-side JavaScript reaches new heights with Node.js, a young technology that allows you to create network servers, web apps, and everything in between. In this talk, you'll get up and running with Node.js for your hack. You'll learn about the JavaScript environment, the ECMAScript 5 features you can leverage, how to wield the power of async I/O, best practices, and frameworks that help you create the next big thing with ease.

  Some topics include: Using WebSockets for realtime data, using YUI on Node.js, Yahoo! products made on Node.js, and a taste of the unconventional, such as using Node.js to talk to an Arduino!
