The Yahoo Developer Network is bringing us all some more fun stuff with the Yahoo! User Interface Library:
"The UI Library is a set of JavaScript components that let you quickly add all kinds of really nifty features to your web site, from dynamic UI elements like drag and drop, tree views, and animation; to underlying functionality like custom events and easy-to-use cross-browser XMLHttpRequest connections."and the Yahoo Design Pattern Library:
"...our best visual and interaction designers have gotten together and created a set of patterns and guidelines for design in a Web 2.0 world. Here you'll find ideas on the best ways to implement web site elements, along with pointers to examples and the tools within the Yahoo! UI Library that will let you do it."Yahoo just keeps consistently churning out quality stuff, quietly and without a lot of fanfare, and I really like how the company keeps developing interfaces and search services with the end user in mind. I've always had a soft spot for Yahoo since I've been using them since they were first on the Web, which was in 1994 (can you believe that!!)
