[Webpub] tomorrow: John Resig on campus

[Michael Berger]

Hey Jonathan and everyone:
We have been using jQuery and jQuery UI for a year in the insideMIT  
Design and Development team (https://wikis/confluence/display/ISTidd/ 
Introduction). 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?
- Mike
