jQuery

jQuery is a new type of Javascript library. It is not a huge, bloated, framework promising the best in AJAX - nor is just a set of needlessly complex enhancements - jQuery is designed to change the way that you write Javascript.

Top 10 web dev libraries

I decided to make a list of the top libraries that I have come across or that I personally use. Libraries can be a web developers best friend. They are great resources to learn from and can save hours and hours of time. These libraries include JavaScript, Ajax, Colors, PHP, and CSS. These should be in any web developers bookmarks, so go ahead and look through these libraries and bookmark your favorite ones. The list is in no particular order.

The last few contracts I had concentrated on .NET and related technologies, specifically application development. So feeling eager to get back into some web development, I started to have a look around and see what has changed in the last few months. This was one of the things I found. Yahoo! has put together a very nice library of utilities and controls to make the life of the web developer a little easier. You can find more information, downloads and articles on the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library website.

The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML and AJAX. The YUI Library also includes several core CSS resources. All components in the YUI Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses. Download the entire library, its documentation and examples from Sourceforge.

The library’s developers blog at the YUI Blog and the YUI Library community exchanges ideas at ydn-javaScript on Yahoo! Groups.
