I read a couple of articles about bundles and some discussions on stackoverflow. Bundles are good but could be very confusing for a novice (and from some questions on stackoverlow even for experienced). I wish creators of VS would make the bundles work more intuitive; and maybe allow the developer to decide if he/she wants to use them and when.
>Bundles are a good thing. In a web application, if you list each css file separately, each must be loaded separately. That means for each file, you have to contact the server, establish a connection, download the content, the disconnect. With a bundle, multiple files are automatically combined. So if you have three files in the bundle, the browser connects to the server one time, which speeds up page load.
