Caching and cache-busting

Serving static content and gzip encoding it.

Gzipping reduces the file size about five times as much as minifying does. But, you get a little boost from minifying as well, and since it likely requires little additional effort in a build step, you might as well.

There is also some evidence that browsers can read and parse a minified file faster

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
