Doing cool things with open source javascript libraries

Simon Taylor and Becky Alcorn

This talk is an introduction to some of the cross-browser javascript libraries out there that make it easier to make interactive and dynamic web pages. We'll have a look at the various helper functions for dealing with the DOM, objects, arrays and the things you commonly want to do. We'll look at some of the standard objects available such as calendars, tree-view lists and sliders. We'll also have a look at the Event handling and Ajax functions provided.

The libraries covered will be: prototype, scriptaculous and yahoo's YUI.
