I gave a presentation today at our local Notes User Group (Condug) on using Open Source Javascript frameworks along side Notes. I went through a brief overview on a few of the more popular frameworks, explaining benefits and downfalls of each. Then I went through a couple of demonstrations including DominoYui, which is a new OpenNTF project I recently became a “cook” on. The project is meant to make integrating Yahoo User Interface (YUI) and YUI-Ext with domino applications easily. In its current state you can drop in the view template and include the proper javascript files and get a nifty data grid with resizable columns, sortable, and paging. The project shows a lot of promise and the next release is scheduled for this week.

I then went through a couple of other basic examples using Prototype / Scriptaculous, including a quick ajax autocompletion and a demo of my prototype based javascript validation.

As promised to those who attended I’ve uploaded my presentation and the nsf containing Domino YUI and the other examples.
