Sessions at YUIConf 2011 about JavaScript 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.

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.

The focus will be on:

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

Intended audience: Web app developers.

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.
