Debugging Ajax Applications
There are number of tricks in debugging JavaScript / Ajax Applications, its very hard to explain new developers in team and I was looking for some nice article to use as reference. The tutorial at asp.net http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax/tutorial-06-cs.aspx has very nicely compiled information on this topic, even though its oriented towards ASP.NET camp, but it has enough information for other platform folk as well. It covers debugging with Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer (Free) as IDE, Internet Explorer and Firefox as browser, Firebug and Nikhil’s Web Developer Helper as browser’s addin. The article then winds up with information on ASP.NET AJAX’ debugging support.
BTW, ASP.NET AJAX is two fold offering, it has stuff for ASP.NET developer as well as its JavaScript client library which you can use in other platforms, like PHP for which there is even PHP for Microsoft AJAX Library
