I aways believed Sun Microsystems gave maximum benefit to the computing world. They developed a lot of technology and made it Open source. Now since Sun is under grip of Oracle, who should take its place?
I believe Yahoo is slowly replacing Sun's footprint of donating technology to the world.
I came across the developer network of Yahoo!. I can see most of their works are now Open source and very powerful.
Take the case of YUI3. Its a marvellous library and framework for web developers.
Just listing some of the best Yahoo Developer Tools
There were other quite few great ones
