Optimizing Yahoo! Search for the iPhone

Thursday August 28, 2008 @ 03:18 PM (PDT)

I’ve written an article for the YUI Blog describing some of the techniques I used to optimize Yahoo! Search for the iPhone. You can use these techniques to improve the performance of any JavaScript-heavy iPhone web app, even if you don’t use YUI. Check it out!

So I see the module pattern in the sample code you posted over yonder on the YUI Blog. Are you guys rocking other design patterns a lot or is the singleton/module the big daddy?

What, in your opinion, would be the big patterns that are used the most?

Singleton
Factory
Bridge
Composite
Facade
Adapter
Decorator
Flyweight
Proxy
Observer
Command

Are you going to be at Hack Day?

We do use the module pattern heavily, and I suppose you could say that some of our code is similar to some other patterns, but I’ve never been a big fan of pattern-based development.

I’m gonna do my best to make it to hack day.
