I’m more than pleased to announce that the 3rd generation of YUI is finally out, I’ve been following closely the YUI project ever since I joined Yahoo! almost 4 years ago and since then the framework has evolved incredibly, the 3rd version announced today is a complete redesign, the framework became faster, lighter and easier to use, quoting Eric Miraglia: “One of the goals of the YUI 3 redesign was to make it easy to use without sacrificing power, performance and configurability.”
Go ahead and give it a try, the YUI Blog post is a good starting point YUI 3.0.0: First GA Release of YUI’s Next-Generation Codeline

While working on my current project at Yahoo! I had the need to aggregate different search feeds, the requirement was to have a way to pass a param to the url like search=search_term, and this would be passed along to the the feeds and it would return results from all the feeds (obviously it had to be done in the front end only), I thought about adding more YQL requests to my app but I didn’t want to change the code since we were planning on having a re-factor of this part of the code, so super Yahoo! Pipes to the rescue, it was a really easy task and got more than I asked for, like filters and sorting… the example speaks for itself: pipe example you can clone it and play with it.
