YUI: Open Hours Thurs Jan 19th

3.5.0 DataTable update

A lot of progress has been made for 3.5.0 DataTable, and we want to show and tell the latest status of the code and API. There’s plenty left to do, but we’re excited for the new state of the art and want to make sure what’s coming will meet your needs and expectations.

With a couple weeks left before 3.5.0 PR2 (scheduled for Jan 30th), there’s still time to add features and polish, and the whole of PR3 to stress test and optimize, so things are looking good.

We’ll cover what’s there today, what will be there for PR2 and PR3, and what the feature roadmap is for upcoming versions. We’ll dive into the code, talk about changes to the API, module structure, and table markup.

Recording

The recording is available in the YUILibrary YouTube channel.

YUI: Open Hours Thurs Jan 12th

YUI 3.5.0 Button (and more?) update

Welcome to 2012! We’re starting this year off easy, talking about buttons. Y.Buttons to be exact. Derek Gathright will be joining us to give the latest details on the classes and modules for creating YUI style buttons, what’s available today and where, what’s coming up, and reviewing some of the unique challenges of creating something as simple as a button.

If we have time in the hour, we might talk about DataTable’s development status as well, since that’s consuming most of my time and attention these days.

Time & Details

We’ll be online on Thursday from 10am to 11am PST.

Recording update

There were technical complications this week (aka, Luke’s lack of AV skills), and the recording wasn’t salvageable. Derek was kind enough to share his talking points, with links, in this gist: https://gist.github.com/1599415.

YUI: Open Hours Thurs Dec 15th

YUI 3.5.0 PR1

YUI 3.5.0 PR1 is now available! This is the first of three Preview Releases for 3.5.0.

For this Open Hours we’ll be highlighting what’s in PR1 and discussing how you can get involved to make sure 3.5.0 is rock solid. We’ll also be asking for a show-of-hands from the awesome developers who’ve already started using 3.5.0 PR1 (which is on the CDN). Come Thursday, don’t get caught with your hand down :)

Also, the YUI Library Staging site has been updated with the newest user guides and API docs, and in response to the feedback from the last Open Hours, we’re now using our GitHub wiki to track ongoing development discussions.

Recording

The recording is available on the YUILibrary YouTube channel.
