Someone just sent me this link and I found the "Minify your JavaScript and CSS files" section enlightening.
I've been using Ant more and more to deploy my applications - as well as making use of jQuery and it's related plugins. This seems like a great solution to having editable scripts in your repository but deploying minimized scripts to production. http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/09/11/building-web-applications-w ith-apache-ant/ Thanks, Jim
