Google versus Yahoo

question

[nicknick]

Im fairly new to javascript and dont know to much about it .

Ive started working on it and seem to be getting somewhere but the problem is I have come across google and yahoo with two sets of products .

Which would be better in your opinion ?

although google does have some specific products it also has access to libraries and was wondering which is better ?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I was tasked with evaluating several JavaScript frameworks. The Google Web Toolkit [code.google.com] was in its infancy at the time, and from what I could tell relied heavily on Java server-side code. The Yahoo UI Library [developer.yahoo.com], on the other hand, was platform independent. It was also very well documented compared to the other frameworks, and I liked that it didn't muck up the global namespace like some other frameworks. I expect the Google Web Toolkit has come a long way, though a quick look at it now and I think it still relies on Java. Also, the Yahoo library has a huge community of very active users, so getting help when needed is generally pretty easy.

My 2 cents.
