I was very excited to see that Yahoo! released version 2.4.0 of the YUI javascript framework. I’m especially excited about the selector stuff as well as the Get Utility. Get Utility is something I’ve been waiting for a long time.
I began working with YUI very early on in the release cycle. For me it was most attractive because t seemed very stable and polished and the docs have just been tremendous every step of the way. There were other frameworks at the time but they were either horribly lacking in good documentation or seemed to be a collection point for everything and anything without any real focus on stability.
The past few months I’ve been really getting into JQuery because it’s simple and intuitive interface, lightweight footprint, and excellent documentation. Although, with these recent additions to YUI I may just have to consider going back for the development of my largish, yet to be named, project I’m working on.
jquery is terrific. i haven’t had time but I’m looking forward to implement django and jquery in the near future. not that it would be difficult or anything.
thanks for the YUI update. love the screen casts, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words. I’ve used YUI quite a bit with Django and it works very well together. By the way, I noticed that you’re a fan of subsonic. That’s a great framework. I’ve been following it at a distance.
