Online YUI 3 Introductory Course Fri, Jan 21st

January 13, 2011 at 3:07 pm by Luke Smith | In Development, YUI Events | 13 Comments

Next Monday Friday I will be hosting an online YUI 3: Intro course for anyone that wants to attend.

This is the same course that has been taught within Yahoo! for about a year now, and the same one presented at YUIConf last November. It covers these topics:

  • Basic DHTML – DOM traversal and modification and subscribing to events
  • Ajax using Y.io
  • Class API patterns – Instantiation, configuration, and event subscriptions for widgets and utilities
  • YUI sandbox – API and environment set up and loading strategies

There are exercises throughout the material to get your hands in the YUI habit as well as your brains.

The 3.5 hour course will run from 9:30am until 1pm PST next Monday, Jan 17th Friday, Jan 21st. Connection info is:

  1. Dial in to 1-888-371-8922 (Skype is great for non-US participants)
  2. Enter the attendee code 4718 8953#
  3. Join the screen sharing session (this will prompt you to install the Adobe Connect plugin if this is your first time using it)

I know it’s short notice, but you can blame that on Rey Bango. So if you missed the intro course at YUIConf or you just want a thorough, hands on, getting started with YUI 3 training, come on over and bring a friend!

UPDATE: Moved from Monday the 17th to Friday the 21st

I forgot that Monday is a holiday (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day), so I’m moving the course to Friday the 21st. I can use the extra time to work out the logistics of recording it for posterity. If you have any recommendations on the best way to record a 3.5hr presentation, I’d love to hear it!

UPDATE: Recording available

The full recording, course content, and slides are available for download (250M)

The zip contains OSX filesystem cruft, the audio is spotty, and there’s plenty of room for improvement, but hey, it’s out there!

  2. A download would be awesome. I’m clear on the other side of the world so the course isn’t at a particularly convenient time for me, but I’d love to catch up on it afterwards.

  4. Since we had to move it to Friday, we might be able to swing a recording. We’re no experts in that, though, especially not with split media (Connect + conference bridge), so any advice is welcome.

  5. Sorry, not an expert in that area, just wanted to add another vote for a recording. Or just be able to download the course material itself, for use internally in the company I work for. Trying to get more people involved in yui.

  6. According to the Adobe Connect site you can set a meeting to be recorded, which will include the audio, and then you can make the recording URL available:

  11. I missed this on account of a meeting, but so deperately wanted to attend. Is a recording going to be availble? How about just the slides? I’d love to get my team more comfortable with YUI 3.

  13. If you’re having trouble getting the audio to work on windows machines for the recording, I’ve heard that mplayer works.
