Compress (minify JS) is one of most important missions if you need to optimize your web performance. And using JavaScript compressors is the easiest way to do this task, I recently present some popular minify JS compressors in Performances of JavaScript Compressors.

However, this solution has a big advantage you should know: we have to compile our JavaScript source codes/files before uploading them to live server if we change the source code. In order to overcome this shortcoming, we can use an alternation: compressing JavaScript source codes/files automatically on our server then give back the results as requested.

That's subject of this JavaScript article tutorial: guides you how to compress JavaScript source codes/files on Apache.

Perhaps I did not to talk more, everyone knew HTML5 and Flash - these two web technologies are developed and improved to attract more attentions from web developers.

Today in this canvas tutorial JavaScript post, I'm pleasure to present you a match of HTML5 and Flash in simple JavaScript drawing round: creating a warning icon by code lines. The arms of both two races: HTML5 using canvas element with support from JavaScript, Flash with Action Script 3.

Although the author did not show which technology won, but personally according to final images, jsB@nk think it's HTML5 because the color of picture made by HTML5 is more real than Flash; however, this is just a very simple HTML5 canvas test and these web technologies are still improved. Please go to the full post page for detailed results.

Now it's time to create content only for content publishers!

JavaScript compression is one of most important missions to optimize the performance of web page. Besides minifying the size of JavaScript source code/files (minify JS/compress JavaScript files) to decrease the time for loading, some JavaScript compressors also make many optimizations (compress) for your JavaScript source code.

Today in this post, jsB@nk would like to show you comparison results of some popular JavaScript compressors: Packer 3.1, YUI Compressor, Google Closure, Dojo Shrinksafe and JSMin. This comparison just made with two test units: compression ratio and processing time. Please go to the full post page for detailed comparison results.
