He provides an introduction to Windows 8, WinJS, and explains how YUI can help make applications faster with clean, modular code.

In this YUIConf 2012 presentation, the YUI team member Reid Burke talks about testing software and writing code that works. His talk is richly illustrated with demos of the tools that Reid has built for testing JavaScript in the browser and includes a discussion of the software testing philosophy and the special place that testing holds in the development process.

In this YUIConf 2012 talk, Montie Tsai and Zordius Chen, Yahoo! mobile e-commerce engineers, discuss a mobile UI library called Bottle that features components packaged as YUI widgets for better reusability. The library is available in the YUI Gallery.

In this demo-oriented talk from YUIConf 2012, the Yahoo! web security engineer Bishan presents both common and not so common security issues arising out of unsafe YUI coding. He analyzes real world vulnerable examples and follows with code demos that show the correct way of securing those with YUI. Bishan also talks about good security patterns that can eliminate a number of frontend vulnerabilities that are seen today.

At this YUIConf 2012 talk, Daniel Stockman, a front-end engineer at Zillow, talks about refactoring Zillow's most-trafficked pages using YUI App Framework and reflects on his team's experience with YUI, the structure of their code, and the art of compromise in fast-paced software development.

In this series of short lightning talks from YUIConf 2012, Gopal Venkatesan of Yahoo! Mail talks about the Yahoo! Mail add-ons called Tictacs, Stephen Murphy of Yahoo! Search discusses development with Gear.JS, Leonardo Alvarez from Yahoo! Finance talks about Mjata Charts, and Simon Hojberg from Swipely describes Behavior-Driven Development for YUI,

In this YUIConf 2012 talk, Ryan Cannon, the manager of application development for the NFL, deep-dives into how the NFL leverages YUI to provide a rich, trackable, and monetizable video experience to its users regardless of device.

In this YUIConf 2012 presentation, Derek Gathright, an engineer on YUI Team, talks about the ScrollView module, and discusses its overall concept, purpose, and use-cases, diving into various implementations and reviewing interested code snippets (gesture events, 3D), and concludes with some tips and "gotchas" along with a roadmap for where the ScrollView development is headed.

In this talk from YUIConf 2012, LIngyan Zhu, a frontend and applications engineer at Yahoo! Finance, talks about developing highly interactive and data-centric web applications using Mjata.js, an extensible YAF-based library for building robust data models and services for JS MVC architectures.

In this evening keynote from YUIConf 2012, the legendary JavaScript architect Douglas Crockford discusses one of the most elusive of all programming concepts: the monads. With this talk, Crockford attempts to break the long-standing Monad tutorial curse by explaining the concept and applications of monads in a way that is actually understandable to the audience.

In this talk presented at YUIConf 2012, Yahoo! frontend engineer and YUI 3 Cookbook author Evan Goer discusses the principles behind clear and logical writing, and methods for organizing prose at the micro level. Evan also talks about ways of avoiding bad advice and focusing on what truly matters in writing. According to him, "this is the stuff your college writing instructors should have taught you, but probably didn't."

In this presentation from YUIConf 2012, Mojito engineer Caridy Patiño talks about the Mojito project and its usefulness for YUI developers. In particular, Caridy discusses Mojito's rich offering of boilerplate and building capabilities for YUI projects, with a variety of options to build traditional YUI web apps, mobile apps to deploy on devices, and Node.JS applications as well. Caridy also describes how Mojito leverages YUI library and YUI tool chains to build at scale.

In this talk and town hall discussion from YUIConf 2012, senior YUI Engineer Eric Ferraiuolo presents his thoughts on how YUI can continue to progress with and for its community. His initial presentation sets the context for a town hall conversation where developers who use YUI share their feedback and insights.

In this talk given at the YUIConf 2012, YUI engineer Tony Pipkin provides a step-by-step walkthrough of building and deploying a module to the new YUI gallery using an exciting new tool called "yogi". Tony goes over a variety of yogi functions and demonstrates how to properly assemble configuration files and setup your code to make YUI gallery submission practically effortless.

In this talk at YUIConf 2012, a SmugMug sorcerer and former YUI engineer Ryan Grove provides code samples and real-world anecdotes to illustrate how to decide when to use YUI, when to use vanilla JavaScript, when to consider other libraries, and what the tradeoffs are in terms of performance and maintainability. Ryan's advice ranges from simple rules of thumb to more nuanced discussion of complex architectural decisions, with examples drawn from his time working on YUI at Yahoo! and using YUI at SmugMug.
