Do everything with javascript

A play with "frontend application"

After created the yqlClient, it looks like I can do something fun with it. I love investing in stock market that sounds good if I can do something about it.

Here i created a quote panel which use YUI, jquery, flot extension on jquery, my yqlClient…etc. Everything done with HTML, CSS, Javascript. 0 lines PHP. But there are problems that as cookie was used as a permanent storage, so user cannot bring along the data when they switched a browser / computer…

This application used a html page in Yahoo! Finance, a xml call from the flash chart, Yahoo news RSS feed. Then use YQL to pulling the data and re-construct the interface in the way I want. This is fun that with the help of YQL, data can be pulled together quickly and creating some demo app in a short time to get user feedback and change again.

The quote panel.
