Firebug - Web Development Evolved
by
Brett Bumeter
A good friend of mine recommended some JavaScript editing software called Firebug. It not only enables you to edit JavaScript but also CSS and several other types of script. Even better its a Firefox add on!
One of the unique things about software that definitely captured my eye was its ability to work with live website so that you can see the script that you’re editing and its impact live on the website as you’re working with it. This what you do result in what you see editing style can definitely be useful for people that have less experience working with JavaScript. I wouldn’t classify it as a full WYSIWYG, but it does come close to that. I suspect it may have other uses for more advanced coders and scripters as well.
I will let you know when I get to that level with JavaScript and after I have had a chance to put this tool through its paces!
If you have had some experience with this software or with something better, let me know and I will be happy to mention it here and give you full credit for your reference. It doesn’t matter to me who you are or whether or not you are a do-it-yourselfer coder, or a software engineer or even a real estate agent, I’m more interested in what you know.
