YUI engineer Jenny Donnelly provides an introduction to the use of YUI in rapid prototyping environments.
The 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. YUI is available under a BSD license and is free for all uses. The YUI project includes the YUI Library and two build-time tools: YUI Compressor (minification) and YUI Doc (documentation engine for JavaScript code).
Download YUI version 2.7.0, including full API documentation and more than 300 functional examples from YUILibrary.com.
A preview release of YUI's next-generation 3.x codeline is also available. YUI 3.x is not production-ready, but we're looking forward to your feedback on the YUI 3 forum as we prepare this new codeline for a 2009 GA release.
The library's developers blog at the YUI Blog and the YUI Library community exchanges ideas at YDN-JavaScript on Yahoo! Groups.

YUI Compressor is a build-process component that helps you minify your JavaScript and CSS.
YUI Doc creates beautiful, searchable API docs for JavaScript code.

directory) or directly from Yahoo! servers. The YUI Loader Utility is a client-side loading package that can dynamically pull in YUI scripts as needed, whether from your servers or from ours. And the YUI Dependency Configurator is a great way to calculate an optimized list of script/css includes for your particular implementation.All of the YUI Library components are provided free of charge under a liberal BSD license.
Cheat Sheets for the YUI Library provide quick references to the key methods, properties, and syntax patterns of each component. When you find yourself elbow-deep in a coding problem, sometimes it's quicker to turn to these rather than firing up a browser to review documentation and examples — and reviewing the cheat sheets can help you discover hidden gems you didn't know were there.
These one page references aren't comprehensive, but we think you'll find them valuable to have on hand.
The YUI Library and related topics are discussed on the on the ydn-javascript mailing list.
In addition, please visit the YUIBlog for updates and articles about the YUI Library written by the library's developers.
The YUI Library's public bug tracking and feature request repositories are located on the YUILibrary.com site. Before filing new feature requests or bug reports, please review our reporting guidelines.
