DevComo May Meetup - Frontend Web Development

Our next meetup is Wednesday, May 28th at 6pm. We will have a frontend web development extravaganza, talking about developer tooling and building web apps.

Firefox DevTools
Brian Grinstead, Mozilla

The developer tools built into Firefox let you examine, edit, and debug the content on your web page. Using DevTools makes working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript easier.

We will cover the basics of the tools, then we will dive into some live examples to show how you can use them in your front end workflow. And we will have a sneak peak of some of the latest features you can see in nightly builds.

About the Speaker:
Brian (@bgrins (https://github.com/bgrins/)) is a computer programmer who works on Firefox and other open source projects (https://github.com/bgrins/).
