Hello Tomlins, It's not about a version for developers and non-developers. It's about creating a version that's smaller (compressed) and takes less time to download. The compressed (or compiled) version will not have comments or such things. All these will be stripped out.
The "developer/non-developer" can be considered the dynapi "source" files, while the compressed (or compiled) version can be considered as the "binary" files. The "source" files will have comments, documentation, etc and should be used by everyone wanting to learn, improve or develope web apps for use with dynapi. The "binary" or "compiled" version should be used when deploying your dynapi web apps. This version is more for the production phase rather than the development phase or your apps. -- Raymond Irving --- Tomlins Diane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just to stick my non-developer 2 cents in here... > > I think this whole idea is great.
