Yahoo's Developer Network

Jun 13, 2006

As a senior developer I am constantly on the lookout for things to:

1. make my life easier
2. make development faster
3. provide me with inspiration and ideas
4. help me learn more

The Yahoo Developer Network is a one stop shop that helps address all of those items for me. Well documented API's to a wide variety of their products and services, a design pattern library to leverage their developer's expertise and experience, a blog to keep up to date with what they are working on, and lots of other features I have not listed here. It's rare for a company to provide such access to parts of it's 'IP' (even Google 'the good' hasn't gone this far yet) but I'm glad they have and I'm sure their efforts to do so will help others' efforts in continuing to push the envelope of Internet development.
