Sessions at YUIConf 2011 on Friday 4th November

The web platform is growing, and JavaScript is growing along with it. ES6, the next edition of the JavaScript standard, is gearing up to be a huge step forward for web programming. I will talk about the exciting new features being worked on for ES6.

Heard about Yahoo! Pipes but never used it? Here is your chance to see how to create a Pipe and use it to power the data in your web app.

Intended audience: beginner/intermediate web devs.

Discover useful, time-saving, and downright amazing "hidden" features of YUI.

This is an introduction to the technology behind Livestand, Mojito. Mojito is Yahoo!s new dual runtime technology, written in 100% JavaScript. Mojito allows developers to easily share code between client and server allowing Web applications to take full advantage of the platforms they're being deployed to.

This talk will discuss the new YQL.Auth YUI widget extension and token exchange which can add the ability to access Yahoo! user data off-network via YQL.

Intended audience: YUI Widget developers, YQL hackers, Product owners looking to render their users' Yahoo! data off-network

This talk will provide an overview of how HTML5 and YUI are utilized in Yahoo's Webmail for Smart Devices. We will discuss mobile specific topics such as offline support, device and OS considerations, etc.

Intended audience: Engineers interested in mobile web development.

A discussion about YUI's App Framework and how this suite of components provides the right type of foundation and structure for you to build your web applications with.

We'll discuss the components of the App Framework that were released in 3.4.0, plus the new exciting stuff we've been working on for 3.5.0!

Photos Near Me ( http://photosnear.me ) is an application that shows off the power of the App Framework and is using the newest components; the source is available on GitHub at: https://github.com/ericf/photosn....

The email contact bubble or "lozenge" as we call it, is a self contained entity in the Yahoo! Mail compose page that can be copied, edited, deleted and even dragged around. It is one of the many useful design elements in the new Yahoo! Mail and a better, more intuitive way of representing the boring old email address.

Representing Email as a DHMTL widget gives us an opportunity to implement various cool features around a simple email address, but one challenge it poses is to provide the ability to copy the email address.

The contact lozenge shows only the Name attributes of the email address. So, when the user wants to copy the contents of a contact lozenge, we will need to make sure the name and email address in the format Name <email.com> is copied to the clipboard.

In Yahoo! mail we support both copy using keyboard shortcut CTRL + C and through a user initiated action. In this talk I will cover 2 techniques that we used. One of them, the clipboard-plugin was recently released as a Node Plugin on YUI Gallery.

Intended audience: Intermediate Users.

TBA

We will review how to leverage YUI to build Web applications than can adapt to different regions or user preferences.

The focus will be on:

• Preserving top performance and maintainability
• Designing for change
• Plugin vs Extend models

Intended audience: Web app developers.

A detailed look into the unique challenges and solutions which went into delivering a key Yahoo! product which needed to provide a rich cross-device application without compromising on the 'native' experience.

How to set up YUITest and Node.js to script testing of native JavaScript code as well as code patterns meant for use across languages. The discussion will include examples of loading data from other languages for use in JavaScript testing as well as using Node.js to test JavaScript compatibility of regular expressions and other code snippets while testing in other languages. Non-JavaScript examples will be given in Perl.

Intended audience: Developers, especially those who interface between frontend and backend code.

Will show the steps and secrets how to build large applications such as AlloyUI's DiagramBuilder using only HTML, JavaScript, and YUI.

Intended audience: JavaScript developers.
