Step-through debugging will change your life.
Hyperbole aside, it can streamline your development process and become a powerful tool in your developer toolbox. Join us Wednesday, June 17th, to learn how to step through your Drupal and JavaScript code like a development deity.
We will cover:
How to use xDebug and how it can streamline your PHP development
- Set up xDebug on the server
- How to configure and troubleshoot your editor
- What all the crazy buttons do
- How you can use a step-through debugger to understand new software
How to use the Chrome DevTools console to track down front end bugs
- Pause JavaScript execution to fully understand scopes at any given point during execution
- Step through JavaScript line-by-line or block-by-block
- Figure out what AJAX calls are doing and where they might be going wrong
- Configuring the console so it has pretty syntax highlighting like an IDE
Any and all are invited. These techniques are helpful for all forms of web development.
