Flickr/YUI/Lightbox


Two minute screencast of building a patch to fetch Flickr "interestingness" pics for a given day. Demonstrates how web APIs and 3rd party framework JS can be wrapped as Lily objects- in this case, the flickr.interestingness.getList service, the Yahoo YUI Calendar widget and Lokesh Dhakar's Lightbox script. Also shows how a Lily patch can contain other patches (note the use here of the "format-date.json" patch loaded using the patcher object) which makes it possible to encapsulate and reuse patches.
