Building Applications on Yahoo with YAP
Opening up the core services, APIs and data of Yahoo! like never before, the Yahoo! Open Strategy is allowing developers to build their presence throughout all Yahoo! properties and reach a massive user base. The Yahoo Application Platform (YAP) is the tool for this initiative, implementing OpenSocial and OAuth standards with Caja sanitization to provide a unified and secure container for development. With vitality feeds reaching across the Yahoo! homepage, My Yahoo!, and Mail to name a few, this platform is allowing the development community to steer the course of future technologies on Yahoo!
This talk will cover an overview of the Yahoo Application Platform and how OpenSocial and Caja are driving web standards within Yahoo. We will explore the core functionality behind the Caja front end securer, the importance of open standards and how developers can build applications on YAP. The talk will be given by Jonathan LeBlanc of YDN.
