Marcel Duran marcelduran@gmail.com 2010-04-27T00:00:00-07:00 /2010/04/27/new-posts-about-performance-back-and-alive <p>After a long period of no posts due to personal issues, I&#8217;m back now and alive!<br />This time with a new post on <a href='http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/'>YDN</a> - Yahoo! Developer Network - blog: <a href='http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2010/04/performance_on_yahoo_search_earth_day_data_uri_ftw.html'>Performance on Yahoo! Search for Earth Day</a>.<br />In this post I describe the performance case study of <a href='http://search.yahoo.com/'>Yahoo! Search</a> <a href='http://events.yahoo.com/earthday/2010/'>Earth Day campaign</a>.</p> <p>During this long off-post period, besides my day job, I&#8217;ve been doing some experiments, developing some tools and brainstorming lots of ideas, mostly related to performance and JavaScript. I do have some post drafts and will be publishing them soon. Here are a few topics I&#8217;m covering along this year:</p> <ul> <li>setTimeout minimum delay limit</li> <li>Prefetching CSS images</li> <li>Problems with gradients filters on IE links hover</li> <li>Flipping page direction RTL/LTR easily - <a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/114416'>RTLzr</a> a Firefox extension</li> <li>JavaScript Interviews Exposed (series)</li> <li>Lazy Enhancement</li> <li>JavaScript video subtitle</li> <li>JavaScript video timeline marks</li> <li>Deleting a removed node from DOM</li> </ul> <p>Stay tuned!</p> 2009-09-29T00:00:00-07:00 /2009/09/29/yui-3-first-release-is-out <p>I&#8217;m more than pleased to announce that the 3rd generation of <a href='http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/'>YUI</a> is finally out, I&#8217;ve been following closely the YUI project ever since I joined Yahoo! almost 4 years ago and since then the framework has evolved incredibly, the 3rd version announced today is a complete redesign, the framework became faster, lighter and easier to use, quoting <a href='http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2009/09/29/yui-3-0-0/'>Eric Miraglia:</a> <em>&#8220;One of the goals of the YUI 3 redesign was to make it easy to use without sacrificing power, performance and configurability.&#8221;</em></p> <p>Go ahead and give it a try, the YUI Blog post is a good starting point <a href='http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2009/09/29/yui-3-0-0/'>YUI 3.0.0: First GA Release of YUI&#8217;s Next-Generation Codeline</a></p> 2009-09-27T00:00:00-07:00 /2009/09/27/harnessing-the-juice-out-of-yahoo-pipes <p>While working on my current project at Yahoo! I had the need to aggregate different search feeds, the requirement was to have a way to pass a param to the url like <em>search=search_term</em>, and this would be passed along to the the feeds and it would return results from all the feeds (obviously it had to be done in the front end only), I thought about adding more <a href='http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console'>YQL</a> requests to my app but I didn&#8217;t want to change the code since we were planning on having a re-factor of this part of the code, so super <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com'>Yahoo! Pipes</a> to the rescue, it was a really easy task and got more than I asked for, like filters and sorting&#8230; the example speaks for itself: <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=4c40a274bec11e41ab22e5c91e5df9f2'>pipe example</a> you can clone it and play with it.</p> <p>You can also check all the other cool examples created by Paul Donnelly <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com/31337'>http://pipes.yahoo.com/31337</a> or even check <a href='http://blog.pipes.yahoo.net/'>Pipes Blog</a> for their latest updates.</p>
