satyen desai talking about YUI 3 arch concepts & lessons learned
- mtivation
-- yui2 is mature, why change it?
-- lighter
--- allow fine-grained include control
--- rethink the way we use code: move away from traditional inheritance model towards js augmentation & mixins
-- make it easier
--- yui2 has four different widget api classes; yui3 has a single, standard api
--- make common actions easier
---- iteration
---- chaining
-- runtime performance, ie make it faster
--- yui2 has always used a good namespace
--- yui3 takes namespacing further by giving you instance-level control
-examples
-- self-populating
--- yui3 pulls down dependencies in an optimized way
---- no more file-order concerns
-- yui3 offers protection
--- each instance is sandboxed and pulls in its dependencies indeendant of other instances
-- self-populating
--- naturally creates anonymous function wrappers
-- code re-use
--- yui3 avoids the kitchen sink by breaking libs into sub-modules and allowing the developer to only load the submodules required
- plugins and examples
-- in yui2, all instances of a class contain the kitchen sink
-- in yui3, we can use and extend at the sub-module-level
- events
-- built from decoupled code
-- event facades wrap events in a consistent, normalized interface
-- facedes wrap custom events as well
-- on and after events are built into the event publisher
-- bubbling
--- yui3 affords more control over the event stack
-- detaching listeners
- node facade
-- a single location for wrking w/ anything html related
-- enhances and normalizes
-- yui3 build utils into the facade as opposed to yui2’s library-based orientation
-- extendable
--- we can attach plug-ins to a node, eg an io object
-- iterationa and batch operations are suported
- core lang convneineces
-- isType methods
- questions
-- cross domain?
--- managed via flash object
-- multiple versions?
--- the last version loaded is the current version available
-- what does yui3 do better than other libs?
--- yui3 excels in readability and maintainablility
-- can yui3 be used on top of yui2?
--- currently, you can use both on a page, but not necessarily build one on the other
