Video 4 (FWD) - "Using the Web Developer Toolbar"

Monday, March 27, 2006

One of the most powerful and appreciated extensions for Firefox is the Web Developer toolbar. This is the extension that helped convert me from an independent IEvangelist to a Firefox promoter and standards advocate. This tool puts the keys to client-side web development into the hands of the developer.

With a quick click of the mouse, the developer can now see all elements of a certain type, can disable or enable various portions of development ( i.e. JavaScript), or can view otherwise hidden form information. It's such a powerful tool that you'll never be able to do client-side web development again without it.

I do apologize for being so slow in the posting of these videos. There will be a few more in the future. These videos are from September 2005 and are for Firefox 1.0.x, but are still appropriate for Firefox 1.5.x (and Firefox 2.0)

Awesome. David these are very interesting to someone like myself just getting started with more serious web development projects.

Can we expect more videos in the future?

Yeah, I actually have more in this series too. I recorded them in the Summer/Fall of 2005 and have just not had much time to release them.

Hi Dave,

I was really interested in watching the videos regarding "Using the Web Developer Toolbar". The links however, seem to be broken. Are they hosted somewhere else? Thanks.

The videos are there. You just can't save them. All my videos are now Windows Media streaming video. You have to click on the link and it should them launch Windows Media Player.
