Easy Workflow for Site Creation - Yahoo! UI (YUI)

It wasn’t long ago that I visited Yahoo!’s UI Library and thought to myself, “Why would I want to develop inside of grid and constrain myself like that?” More recently, however, I was re-introduced to the YUI and “forced” to use it. And guess what? Its not bad!

The benefits of using the YUI:

CSS and JavaScript Libraries
Very browser/platform compatible
Highly tested and documented
Here to stay
Grids allow faster development
Yahoo! allows you to download the files or leave them on the Yahoo! servers and let them host the files!
Some of the most respected sites out there are using it

So in the short time I’ve been using it you can see that I’ve really come to like it. I suggest using this resource because at least you know that a team of professionals are getting paid to create this stuff and use it for their own company and are offering it open source. Plus 1 for Yahoo!.
