Hacking with YUI
The YUI Library or Yahoo! User Interface Library is a set of utilities and controls, written with JavaScript and CSS, for building richly interactive web applications. YUI is available under a BSD license and is free for all uses. YUI is proven, scalable, fast, and robust. Built by frontend engineers at Yahoo! and contributors from around the world, it's an industrial-strength JavaScript library for professionals who love JavaScript.
"Hacking with YUI" will give you an introduction into the YUI 3 library. The talk shall focus on how to start using these libraries and some basic information about how the libraries are built. Hacking is all about implementing something fun and useful within a short time. Because the focus is on the Idea and the speed of development, using YUI can ensure the web hack is well presented and has rich interactions with minimal code. The talk shall provide you with information about how to get started with YUI, various examples and documentation. The focus will be more on YUI 3 version.

Yahoo! Geo Technologies
Geoinformatics is a key challenging area for delivering personalized applications for the future. Most people confuse it with Maps widgets that show up in the web sites, so it is important to remember that programs cannot 'see' maps. Yahoo!'s Placemaker and Placefinder are key to enable geoinformatics-based applications that are heavily leveraged by location-based applications like Koprol and platforms like Fire Eagle.
This topic is mostly about introducing ways in which applications can leverage the power of geo-informatics.
