Software code optimizer and method

Abstract:

The invention provides, in some aspects, methods of optimizing an app for execution on a client device by identifying components of the app used in such execution by a user having a designated role who accesses the app for download via a designated portal. A component can be, for example, a source code file or portion thereof, including, for example, a portion defining a widget or other user interface element. For each component, the method (i) identifies source code files on which execution of that component depends, e.g., in connection with execution of the particular app by the particular user, and (ii) generates a dependency-ordered stack of the source code files for that component. In further accord with those aspects of the invention, the method combines the dependency-ordered stacks into a single such stack and transfers the source code in an order specified by that stack to the client device for loading and execution.
