RL003 Nate Cavanaugh - Radio Liferay Episode 3
Episode 3 of Radio Liferay is out. I'm speaking with Nate Cavanaugh, Liferay's Director for UI Engineering about AlloyUI, the switch from jQuery
We spoke about these topics - and probably more:
- Liferay's UI history
- Javascript, Drag&Drop positioning of portlets on page
- The introduction of jQuery in Liferay and the standardization on it in 5.1
- The reason behind the switch to YUI and AlloyUI (also here)
- Delivery of AlloyUI from Yahoo's servers
- Nate and Eduardo Lundgren working with the Yahoo Team
- The Liferay AlloyUI team (Eduardo, Nate, Bruno Basto, Ilyian Peychev, John Mak)
- Learning AlloyUI. Start with yuilibrary.com (then change Y to A)
- Namespacing and Sandboxing in AlloyUI
- JSP Taglibs for AlloyUI, TagBuilder
- YUI documentation builder
- Liferay IDE and Developer Studio, Greg Amerson
- Looking forward: AlloyUI will be the UI library of choice for 6.1 - no changes planned ;-)
- jsrosettastone - translating jquery to yui. And another version for jquery to AlloyUI on github
- Oh, and Olaf is learning english again: Capitalization
- AlloyUI is on github, help, participation and pull requests are welcome
- Erik Andersson (honorable mention)
