My colleagues and I from shine.yahoo.com were asked to give a presentation about the technologies that went into Shine for the Yahoo Media Group. The presentation was titled “The Good, The Bad, and The internalsystemnottobementioned”. My part of the presentation was in regards to the Rich Text Editor used on Shine. Since it was my baby throughout the development of the site. My presentation was titled “How the Text was Won”.  I am sure you can see a theme here…

I have cut up a simple version of the presentation that can be viewed here if you are interested:

I will work to publish a few articles about customizing the Rich Text Editor in upcoming months.

I think you could say I hand a hand in it :P

Dav Glass did a wonderful job on the talk and the widget.  If you want to learn something about Rich Text Editors I suggest watching. 

He starts talking about Shine around 7 mins remaining:

I got the opprunity to work in the Yahoo booth at this year’s Web 2.0 Expo.  Nick Fogler of the Juku program was looking for someone to go up to spread the word.  Hopefully we recruited a few promising new Front End’s for Yahoo!. 

The main focus of the booth was on the Yahoo Developer Network and on some new things like fire eagle which is an awesome geolocating service.
