Instantly reloading Visualforce static resources
Visualforce allows you to upload JavaScript, CSS and image files for your app as “static resources” to extend its capabilities. But since they are static, you need to zip and re-upload them if you modify them. This could be laborious when you are editing 100s of times during development. The workaround is to setup a local web server and simply serve JS/CSS files from it instead of uploading them as static resources until you are done editing. Continue reading
