So I’ve been very busy the last few weeks. I’m rewriting, well, pretty much all the javascript on Download.com. Fun! I’ve written a few new classes that I think will be helpful; more on those later.

In the mean time, here are two posts from Ajaxian that are worth a read. The first is on using CNAMES to allow your browser to serially download javascript and css, while the other is on compressing and concatenating files.

Note that Firebug 1 (beta) will let you actually see firefox download all your files and see the order and time each took.

Also note that our new framework environment does the compressing and concatenation stuff, but it’s still interesting to see the work that others are doing.
