  1. Been using Chrome DevTools quite a while now, but learnt loads from this
    video.

    So many more great (and simple) features I hadn’t realised were there

  2. Old cast, but informative. Learned a few important things, like for example
    how to save changes you do to a document in web inspector.

  3. I watched a +Paul Irish do a talk about this at jQuery San Fran this year,
    but this was a really good watch as a refresher.

  4. *Chrome Developer tools tricks*

    I was just watching this video of +Paul Irish and Pavel Feldman about
    Chrome dev tools. They outline some very interesting stuff here.

    *$0* === *get currently selected element*

    If you select an element (by double clicking in the page) and then write
    this code in console:

    var el = $0;

    you will get HTML DOM element in your *el* variable. This is very handy
    especially if you dissect sites without your preferred Javascript library
    (jQuery being my cup if tea) where you have your selectors at your disposal.

    This trick can help you do some direct interaction with selected element
    *fast*.

  5. A pretty cool run-through of Chrome Dev Tools by +Paul Irish from Google

    I’ve never given it a proper go, and keep defaulting to Firebug. cc +Tim

    Had no idea you could do this…

    “Upon an external style sheet rule modification, the respective resource
    text is updated in the Resources panel, and the revision history is stored
    for such style sheet resources until the DevTools window is closed.”

  6. If you are teaching web applications, a powerful element inspection tool,
    JavaScript debugger and tools for manipulating the CSS are really useful.
    In the past I’ve always used Firebug on Firefox but as this demonstration
    from Goggle IO 2011 shows, the developer tools in Chrome (and potentially
    other WebKit browsers) are becoming very powerful as well.

    Of course, web developers can make use of these tools as well.
