As a preview for AlloyUI was just released (together with the new website) I took the opportunity to have another episode about the UI layer. Luckily two members of the core team, Eduardo Lundgren (with Liferay since 2007/8) and Zeno Rocha (Sep 2012) volunteered. (Eduardo was mentioned already in episode 3 with Nate Cavanaugh, Zeno has joined Liferay since then. Both of them are members of the brazilian team.)
We start with their history and
* Zeno's project jquery boilerplate. He's also one of the founders of the Brazil JS foundation
* Rosetta Stone, no longer hidden but very prominent on the website, comparing jQuery, YUI, AlloyUI
* The traumatic transition time in 2010 between Liferay 5.2 and 6.0, when AlloyUI replaced jQuery
* How Zeno got assimilated into Liferay
* The new website for AlloyUI with Tutorials, Examples and Documentation (alloyui.com)
* What's new in AlloyUI 2.0, when will it come into Liferay?
* Feedback from the community (portuguese video on youtube)
* Can I run different versions of YUI on the same site/page (as I can with jQuery within YUI with the help of YQuery)?
* who else is using AlloyUI or contributing to it?
* Zeno will be speaking at Jax 2013
* Honorable mention of the library that YUI is unofficially built on top of.
* TaglibGenerator: A tool to generate taglibs and integrate them with Javascript/AlloyUI
* Integration of taglibs into Liferay IDE/Developer Studio (Link to Greg's Episode)
* AlloyUI on twitter and stackoverflow
