This past weekend I competed with a couple of kids in my CS class in a Yahoo! HackU 24 hour CS contest. The idea is to make something .. anything.. from scratch, within 24 hours, and then present that something to Yahoo! engineers to be judged. Cookie points are awarded to submissions which utilize Yahoo! technologies such as YUI or YQL. Not having ever use Javascript or anything that has to do with web programming, my teammates and I made a Java API search tool, which is at least sort of useful.
Working link: Java API Search
Here is our slide show presentation: Team: WTF is Javascript?
(A bit ironic to use Google Tools at a Yahoo! event, but hey, even the Yahoo! engineers used Google Search as there preferred search engine, and Gmail as their preferred email service)
