Libraries Make A Coder's Life Easier

And I'm not talking about the kinds with old fashioned card catalogs and ornery ladies with blue hair and reading spectacles around their necks.

The libraries of which I speak are of the Javascript codebase variety that allow sophisticated user interfaces to be incorporated into web pages by even the most casual of coders and webmasters.

Here's a new, and really good one, put out by... Yahoo, yes Yahoo. It's called the Yahoo User Interface Library and it's not just a library but part of a whole initiative called Yahoo Developer Network. Oh, and it's open source/free by the way.

Another good free one, is Dojo. As their website says,"Dojo lets you prototype interactive widgets quickly, animate transitions, and build Ajax requests with the most powerful and easiest to use abstractions available."

These are just a couple of the many that are out there.

So stop reinventing the wheel, and get going instead on offering that revolutionary new service of yours.
