[OpenSocial] Re: OpenSocial Coding Practices

[Navaneeth Krishnan]

A few tips: For (1), You could split your _javascript_ into separate modules in your development environment. During your build process you can concat the relevant js files and run it through a _javascript_/css compressor like the YUI Compressor. The compressor strips off code comments and also does a bunch of optimizations to give a single js file that you can use for your deployment. You can also consider generating separate js files for your profile view and canvas view, because typically the profile view will require much less _javascript_. This will ensure that you load up faster on the user profile. (2) will depend largely on your application itself. Use cached makeRequest if you expect duplicates and, as Aakash mentioned, the app data store, if you just want to store small amounts of data. Hope that helps !

Using all this _javascript_ in a single xml file might not be the best way to do it. Are there any guidelines on : 1) how to keep the code neat and good-looking 2) ways to minimize multiple makeRequest calls Also, I am not sure whether it is a good practice to break up my _javascript_ into multiple smaller files. This will improve code readability, but I am afraid that it might increase the latency because the application now has to access more number of files. Please provide me your suggestions and views on this.
