Congratulations on completing the tutorial! While we’ve learned a lot about how to animate using the Yahoo! User Interface library, these links will help you learn more:

1. Yahoo! User Interface Developers

   Honestly, you won't be able to program the YUI without this site. It includes the cheat sheets, a full set of APIs and tons of examples to look at so you know how to code. This is a highly recommended site.

2. Yahoo! Design Patterns

   As you've well learned, part of learning how to animate an object on a web page is learning when to do it. These design patterns show you when it is appropriate to use different kinds of animated transitions that help the user rather than confuse.
