YoChat development blog

I had a chance to work with jQuery library. Well it seems to be good enough. Of course it doesn’t have too much functions as YUI has, but it’s lightweight and fast. For this reason it can be used for more highly loaded communities - less traffic, less requests - more fast work.

I plan to release two YoChat php messenger streams: one will be fully based on YUI library and another one will be based on jQuery.

The program should be solid. This means that all actions, chat, video conferencing etc. should be done through one single window. The main application window is launched through JavaScript and that’s it. All other stuff is done by scripts and server.

I’ve made a design of the future application first:

There are three main blocks:

• desktop
• contact list
• messaging window with multisession mode
