Browser Dev Tools Showdown

Every developer has their favorite tools and today when it comes to which browsers to develop in we have a few choices.

In this session we will be looking at the different dev tools that can be used in each of the popular browsers and discover their strengths and weaknesses. We will be looking at how to inspect elements in the DOM, use the JavaScript console, analyze network requests, spot problematic performance issues, tweak css and much more. Knowing how to use these tools and what they each offer can greatly increase your productivity as a developer and help you quickly troubleshoot browser issues. We will be focusing on Chrome's developer tools, Safari, Firebug and IE.
