Debugging Javascript in the Browser

Description:

We’ll cover multiple javascript debugging techniques that are cross-browser and work in IE, Firefox and Chrome, going back to IE8. We will cover techniques such as finding uncaught exceptions or dynamically adding logging. We will cover techniques for debugging Angular from the developer console. And if time permits, I will have some broken JS code samples that we can debug together.

Speaker Bio:

Kip Streithorst is a Senior Software Engineer working for Applied Information Sciences in Raleigh, NC. He spends most of his day working with Javascript but also uses ASP.NET MVC for back-end services. When not programming, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.

Note from Ned: I saw this session at the Raleigh Code Camp in October last year and it was fantastic. Now that we all do only client-side development, there are some pretty neat tricks that can make that easier to do.

The plan is to gather at 5:30 and to start the session promptly at 5:45, then we can adjourn down the street for a brewski or a vino.
