Advanced Debugging w/ JavaScript

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 @ 11:01 pm | filed under: Reference

I have in my drafts lists in wordpress here an article called “Debugging JavaScript” that I started in April of 2007. I got about half way through the article and realized it was a daunting subject and I didn’t have time to do it justice that day. Thereafter, whenever I logged into worpress to write something, that draft would be staring me in the face. Taunting me. I’ve always wanted to go finish it, but just could never bring myself to really write it the way it needed to be written.

Well, thank god for A List Apart, who published an awesome article today on Advanced Debugging w/ JavaScript. Whew. It’s like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

When used effectively, JavaScript debuggers help find and squash errors in your JavaScript code. To become an advanced JavaScript debugger, you’ll need to know about the debuggers available to you, the typical JavaScript debugging workflow, and code requirements for effective debugging. In this article, we’ll discuss advanced debugging techniques for diagnosing and treating bugs using a sample web application.

    I have a similar feeling every time I see my “Internet Explorer Gotchas and how to debug them” article in my blog. I’ve been meaning to finish that off for months, but every time I think it’s ready, I find out I’m totally wrong about half of it.

    Thanks for this link, Aaron! Will have to read it when I get back from food-scrounging in the dumpster out back! And wow! No more total need to login to OpenID to post comments. I’m loving that, too!
