Checking out jQuery
| March 4, 2009 @ 9:03 am | Filed under Internet, Programming |
So for most of my Ajax and javascript programming I have been using YUI. I liked it better then Prototype, Scriptaculous and MooTools. I have known about jQuery for quite some time but I have never actually tried it or even looked at it. Last night I posted a tweet on Twitter about how I like the YUI library. Well, Sam Curren was kind enough to tweet his feelings about YUI. I quote:
On JS Libraries: Code I write with jQuery is beautiful, and code I write with YUI appears to have been beaten with the ugly stick.
So, with those comments in mind, I stayed up later then normal looking at jQuery. As a matter of fact, I just added the jQuery file to a project I am working on and I am going to start using it. Sometimes it takes the truth from others to help you see the better choice.
However, the part I like most about YUI is their grids, resets and font files. It saves me a lot of formatting time and cross browser problems.
