YUI Theater — Luke Smith: “Events Evolved”
October 30, 2009 at 1:25 pm by Eric Miraglia | In YUI Theater | 2 CommentsWe wrapped up YUICONF 2009 last night, and I wanted to share with you the first video coming out of the sessions. This is from YUI engineer Luke Smith‘s (@ls_n‘s) presentation yesterday, “Events Evolved,” in which he dives deeply into the YUI 3 Event system (created by Adam Moore, one of YUI’s architects). YUI 3′s Event module is one of the strengths of the library, and Luke’s talk is the best job we’ve done so far of talking about its best qualities. This is must-see-tv for YUIers.
More video from YUICONF will be on YUI Theater in the coming weeks; I hope you enjoy this first installment.

Very excellent presentation! It was a pleasure to attend the conference, and Luke did a fantastic job both presenting and answering questions following the presentation. I’m excited to see the other video, especially the other sessions I didn’t get to attend since I had to choose :)
