Event Driven Web Application Design Article on the YUI Blog

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 at 10:04 pm

What started as a blog post grew out to be an article for ALA or Thinkvitamin but then ended up on the official blog of the YUI. In the article I am explaining a different approach than using frameworks or standard web design methodologies to create web applications. Instead of concentrating on the technology or the user agent conformity of the application you concentrate on how the app should react to what users do. Separation of Structure, Presentation and Behaviour was just the beginning. Separating out the events that drive the application might just make it easier to build complex applications. I know it did for me.
