Yahoo goes Open Source

The Yahoo! User Interface Library offers all of Yahoo’s JavaScript controls, packaged and ready for download as Open Source. It includes GUI-level components for handling drag & drop, or building treeviews or calendars as well as low-level components for managing AJAX connections and browser events. On top of that, they’ve also released the Yahoo Design Pattern Library, which offers hints and strategies for implementing common web application tools, like breadcrumbs or auto-completion.

Whereas there are other cross-platform libraries out there, Yahoo has done an excellent job of preparing their tutorials.
