Developer Tools That Shouldn’t Be Secrets • Christian Heilmann • GOTO 2022

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2022. #GOTOcon #GOTOcph Christian Heilmann - Author of Several JS Books & Principal Program Manager at Microsoft @ChristianHeilmann ORIGINAL TALK TITLE More Developer Tools Secrets That Shouldn’t Be Secrets RESOURCES Chris @codepo8 ABSTRACT Developer tools that ship with browsers are amazing. They allow you to inspect and debug almost anything on the web. You can also use them to build things from scratch and learn about mistakes while you write your code. The odd thing is that whilst there are over 30 tools available, most users only use five. And we use them in very basic ways we learned years ago without taking advantage of improvements. In this talk you will learn how to break these habits and learn about some amazingly useful things that are available to you but you never thought to look for or even expect. By becoming a better tool user, you can be a much more efficient creator. We will also offer some ideas how to make it easier for you to achieve your full potential as a debugging expert.
