<p><strong><a href="http://www.schillmania.com/content/entries/2009/yahoo-photos-frontend-thoughts/">A Snapshot of The Yahoo! Photos Beta (from 2006)</a></strong></p> Scott Schiller shares an internal retrospective on the Yahoo! Photos interface from 2006, which was years ahead of its time (they started building it before the term Ajax had even been coined). The material on memory management and event delegation is particularly interesting. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ajax">ajax</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eventdelegation">eventdelegation</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scott-schiller">scott-schiller</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yahoo">yahoo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yahoo-photos">yahoo-photos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yui">yui</a></p>
