[wp-hackers] Minify Scripts and CSS and why it isn't completely possible

[Jacob Santos]

It has never been true that you shouldn't use functions that start with 
wp_. Whoever said that to you was either lying or was or still is a fool.

You can read about the Scripts and Styles API at these locations:

http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class.wp-dependencies.php
http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/functions.wp-styles.php
http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/functions.wp-scripts.php

Ignore the suggestion to read WP_Scripts::add() and WP_Styles::add(). 
That method is actually part of WP_Dependencies. I suppose an article on 
the Codex might also help it seems.

You'll probably want to enqueue scripts and styles, but you can also 
register them.
