A book about YUI 3?

Post Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2010 6:35 am

There is only one book about YUI that I am aware of - from March 2008. Just for comparison, there are twenty-something books about jQuery, many of which are very up-to-date. The website is great, the talks on YUI Theater are great, but sometimes I just like to read a book once in a while, as I'm sure a lot of people do.

So my question is, are there any plans to publish a book, any book, about YUI 3?

Is there anyone writing such a book, or even planning to write such a book?

I know that there is nothing on the web that can be found, otherwise I would've already (pre)ordered it.

Thanks.

There are several book projects going on at present with respect to YUI; we're aware of projects relating to both YUI 2 and YUI 3. Those titles have not been announced by their respective publishers as yet, so that's all I can say on the subject -- other than to add that we're excited about what's in the pipeline.

I should have read all my email from this morning before I replied...this one was just announced today:

https://www.packtpub.com/yahoo-user-int ... brary/book

As noted above, there are projects related to YUI 3 in progress as well.

I had the opportunity to review the first 5th chapters of this book. The author Daniel (aka Satyam) is the most active contributor on this forum (memberlist.php?mode=&sk=d&sd=d) so you can expect good insight and a lot of knowledge about YUI 2 and Javascript in general.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the replies. That's nice that there are new books being written about YUI 2 but I am interested specifically in YUI 3. I just hope that there will be any YUI 3 books available in the near future. Meanwhile, if any author writing a book on YUI 3 would like someone to help finding errors in the manuscript then please contact me and I'll be happy to help for the opportunity to read it early.
