As a preview for AlloyUI was

just released (together with the new website) I took the opportunityto have another episode about the UI layer. Luckily two members ofthe core team, Eduardo

Lundgren (with Liferay since 2007/8) and Zeno

Rocha (Sep 2012) volunteered. (Eduardo was mentioned already inepisode

3 with Nate Cavanaugh, Zeno has joined Liferay since then. Bothof 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
