From one, many; from many, one: Class inheritance and composition in YUI
by Luke Smith
Web sites and applications these days demand more than your grandmother's good old-fashioned pseudo-classical extend() model for JavaScript class relationships. This talk will outline the suite of APIs and infrastructure options available to you in YUI to assemble and augment classes and class instances. We'll review what you can do, common patterns of use, and most importantly, why you would use one method over another.
Intended audience: Intermediate Users.

YUI for Designers
by Jeff Pihach
Many designers think that jQuery is the best, easiest, and only way to add javascript enhancements to their pages. This talk is to show how easy it is to add the same functionality and more using YUI 3's core and gallery modules. It will briefly discuss the basic structure of YUI 3 and its gallery system then move into recipie based code and examples for the most widely used enhancements to show that YUI isn't as difficult as they thought.

Demystifying Loader: Advanced Module Configuration
by Jeff Craig
Loader is at the core of every YUI application and pattern. It is one of two parts of YUI that if you were to remove it, what you'd have would no longer be YUI. And yet, it is one of the less understood components within the library. In this talk, I'll be covering in depth how to configure Loader using its more advanced options, from module groups to conditional loading.
Intended audience: Intermediate Users.

YUI Dial Widget: A New Breed of UI Input Control
by Jeff Conniff
The Dial widget is a circular value input control. It's like a real-world, analog volume control dial, but with much finer UI control.

What you'll learn from this talk:
1. Compare and contrast the Dial control features to other UI input controls such as sliders, spinners.
2. See compelling (and visually tasty) examples of Dial solutions to UI challenges.
3. How to implement one in your code.
4. Explore the Dial attributes.

Keynote: Crockford On JavaScript: Section 8: Programming Style and Your Brain
by Douglas Crockford
Computer programs are the most complicated things that humans make. They must be perfect, which is hard for us because we are not perfect. Programming is thought to be a "head" activity, but there is a lot of "gut" involved. Indeed, it may be the gut that gives us the insight necessary for solving hard problems. But gut messes us up when it come to matters of style.
The systems in our brains that make us vulnerable to advertising and propaganda also influence our programming styles. This talk looks systematically at the development of a programming style that specifically improves the reliability of programs. The examples are given in JavaScript, a language with an uncommonly large number of bad parts, but the principles are applicable to all languages.
Dinner will be served from 5:30-6:30pm.

Implementing the "copy" feature the Y! Mail's Contact Bubble/Lozenge
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.
