YUI 3.x Preview Release 1
The YUI team is pleased to announce YUI 3.0 Preview Release 1. This preview is an early look at what we're working on for the next generation of YUI Library. Please review the API, play with the examples, and read the documentation on this site for details; download YUI 3.0 PR1 on the YUI project area on SourceForge; you can find us with questions or comments on the YUI 3.x discussion group.
Please keep in mind that this is an early preview, not a production-quality (or even a beta) release. Things will change. Refactoring and optimization will continue. But we didn't want to wait to get feedback from the community.
This YUI 3.x is part of the broader YUI Library project, which is a coherent collection of JavaScript and CSS resources that make it easier to build richly interactive applications in web browsers. They have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.

YUI 3 Core
YUI 3 Utilities
The library's developers blog on the YUI Blog and the YUI community exchanges ideas about YUI3 on the YUI3 list on Yahoo! Groups.
Getting Started
- Check out the examples of YUI in action. We recommend starting with the base YUI module and then moving on to Node. Other utilities like IO and Drag and Drop make for good points of exploration. If you're interested in YUI's CSS components, read through the examples for Reset, Base, Fonts, and Grids in that order.
- Remember that there are full user's guides for each component here on the website. If you have any questions about a component as you play with the examples, check out the component's user's guide (by following any of the links along the left side of the page) or the searchable API documentation.
- Start building. Use the YUI 3 Configurator to configure a page for YUI 3 usage or base your exploration off of one of the existing examples.
- Become a member of the YUI community. As YUI 3 moves through its preview phase, developers and community members are discussing it in the YUI 3 forums.
Licensing
All of the YUI Library components are provided free of charge under a liberal BSD license.
Articles
- Graded Browser Support: This article details the browser-support philosophy we use in developing the YUI Library. Graded Browser Support provides a sane path to achieving accessibility and graceful degradation while still building richly interactive interfaces in the browser.
