Hey Jonathan and everyone:<div>We have been using jQuery and jQuery UI for a year in the insideMIT Design and Development team (<a href="https://wikis/confluence/display/ISTidd/Introduction">https://wikis/confluence/display/ISTidd/Introduction</a>). We love it, and some of our developers have bundled up their Javascript as jQuery plugins. The core jQuery is more stable than the UI, but the UI has improved drastically in the last few months. It does not have every widget that YUI or DOJO has. Our approach to mix and match has been to use one (jQuery in our case) and add UI widgets from other libraries when needed. One of the things we want to do is integrate the YUI test framework into our coding, so that our Javascript can be unit-tested. Does anyone use YUI test? If so, what do you think?</div><div>- Mike</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 28, 2009, at 9:11 AM, Jonathan Slate wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Thanks for hosting this event, the demo was pretty cool, and I've been playing around some with jQuery in my limited free time, trying to create a AJAX jukebox app w/ PHP, jQuery, and MPD, an open source music player demon. jQuery is pretty cool, though admittedly I'm not finding it *quite* as easy as he made it look but then he seemed like a pretty bright guy. :) Are other people using or planing on using jQuery? Has ayone used the UI plugins? In my office we are using YUI which as mostly worked out pretty well.
