Best practices!

Nico,
It would be great if you could describe in the amber documentation best practise for deployment.
There are three sets of files: amber code, own packages and third-party javascript libraries.
Would it make sense to create with grunt a concatenated and minified package for these three set of packages?

In the past the approach was to create single javascript file, combining amber and own packages into one file. With AMD single file is no longer the preferred option. Please comment.

Just as you suggested I am copying with grunt into development branch the files needed for "require(['amber/deploy'],":

deploy.js, helpers.js, jquery.min.js

Kernel-Objects.js, Kernel-Classes.js, Kernel-Methods.js, Kernel-Collections.js, Kernel-Infrastructure.js, Kernel-Exceptions.js, Kernel-Transcript.js, Kernel-Announcements.js, Canvas.js

smalltalk.js, globals.js, nil.js, _st.js, boot.js, browser-compatibility.js, ensure-console.js

es5-shim.min.js, es5-sham.min.js

Yes, that's planned as part of the new documentation effort :)

Yes, if you like grunt, it can be a very good way to create the
deployment file.

As I replied in another thread, using r.js from requirejs.org is IMHO
the best way to create the deployment file, it will also minify it for
you using uglify.js. The only thing that I'd like to see in Amber's IDE
is an automated way to commit packages with comments and source code
stripped.

Hope this helps,
Nico
