YQL adds storage tables and SET
verb
Posted September 3, 2009
Yahoo! Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, join, and update data across the Web. This release includes a grab bag of features and fixes inspired by feedback on twitter, our forums, and requests from colleagues. These include:
SET
to configure static variables, such as API keys, secrets, and other required values independently of YQL statements and web service calls.yql.storage
tables to store and work with data using YQL itself.

Yahoo! Design Pattern Library Update
Posted August 20, 2009
Design patterns describe optimal solutions to the common types of problems web developers and designers come across in specific contexts as they build applications and user interfaces. Today, the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library relaunched with ten new patterns, three new stencil kits, and tons of useful links and resources.
We've updated the navigation, made cleaner URLs for easier bookmarking, integrated forums where you can participate in pattern development, and added Buzz and Delicious links for each pattern.
Learn more about design patterns and how they can help you work smarter and faster.

YUI Team Releases YUI 3.0.0 beta 1
Posted June 24, 2009
YUI 3, the first beta release of our next-generation JavaScript and CSS library, is a big step forward, featuring improvements to every facet of the library.
The syntax is more terse, allowing you to write more compact code using techniques like chaining. The API is selector-driven, which allows you to target page elements flexibly. The library is even more modular and granular than before, so you only put code on the page for features you need. And YUI 3 retains all of the power and scalability of its predecessor.
