YUI Theater — Christian Heilmann: “YQL and YUI: Building Blocks for Quick Applications” (48 min.) [English and German versions available]
February 11, 2010 at 9:29 am by Eric Miraglia | In YUI Theater | 6 CommentsYDN’s international evangelist Christian Heilmann, who works out of Yahoo!’s London office, was in Sunnyvale last week and gave an internal talk on the creation of effective demo applications using technologies like YQL and YUI. While the talk is tailored for a Yahoo audience, the content is of general interest — and the advice about how best to create impactful demos is applicable for anyone who cares about illustrating the use of a given technology.
I asked Chris to repeat the talk in German; you’ll find both the English and German versions below.
