Approach

Who this book is written for?

This book is for web developers comfortable with JavaScript and CSS, who want to use the YUI library to easily put together rich, responsive web interfaces.

This book is written for earlier the version of 2.x of YUI, (it was written in 2008 and version 2 was the most current at the time). That's not my experience, just a few typo's here and there but nothing you can't work out for yourself when you find them

But overall, it's a good book for version 2.x of YUI that helps you get your head around parts which aren't well documented online.


Would be superb if it weren't for.....
This has the potential for being a superb tutorial on YUI.

Dan Wellman really explains the main core components of YUI Library very well and would be very helpful to anybody wanting to quickly get started using the YUI.

Dan starts off with a great overview of YUI, with some simple examples.

Continuing with the book, Dan then focuses on the Ajax and Connection Manager classes.

The rest of the book goes into many of the other useful classes such as: Animation, Buttons, Navigation Trees, Content Containers, and Drag-andDrop, and Auto-complete.

If there is one library you use, it should be the YUI Library because it is backed by Yahoo! User Interface library
Dan Wellman clearly knows the YUI. It is refreshing to find an author who will communicate with the reader on that level,

I found this book to be a good introduction to the Yahoo User Interface with examples on its use.

This book is a good investment for any serious web developer.
