YQL Manipulates Data: Insert, Update, Delete
Posted July 8, 2009
Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across Web services. Now you can use YQL to write and modify data on Web services and applications using SQL keywords: INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. These new verbs let you manipulate data mapped onto a YQL Open Data Table.

Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop Now Available
Posted June 10, 2009
Apache Hadoop is an open source Java software framework for running data-intensive applications on large clusters of commodity hardware. Because Yahoo! runs the largest Hadoop clusters in the world, many people have asked us to publish the version of Apache Hadoop that we test and deploy. In response, we are releasing the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop -- a source code distribution that is based entirely on code found in the Apache Hadoop project.
The Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop is available through the Yahoo! Developer Network.

YUI Team Releases YUI 3.0.0 beta 1
Posted June 24, 2009
YUI 3, the first beta release of our next-generation JavaScript and CSS library, is a big step forward, featuring improvements to every facet of the library.
The syntax is more terse, allowing you to write more compact code using techniques like chaining. The API is selector-driven, which allows you to target page elements flexibly. The library is even more modular and granular than before, so you only put code on the page for features you need. And YUI 3 retains all of the power and scalability of its predecessor.
