Use and Usability: Yahoo Open-Sources UI Library, Design Patterns

Interesting news (via the Web Standards Project) - Yahoo recently open-sourced huge chunks of their UI code, lots of libraries for doing nifty in-browser DOM / Javascript / AJAX stuff.

So will drag-and-drop shopping carts become the new Flash intro? Not if you follow the eminently sensible Yahoo Design Patterns, a series of behaviour standards and interface designs intended to help improve the Web experience overall, no matter what tech lies underneath.

Also, check out the Yahoo User Interface Blog, at yuiblog.com..

Not to be confused with YULBlog. Which reminds me, it’s First Wednesday. See you there!
