Abstract

The days of Javascript being restricted to a few lines of inline code to drive a UI state change are over. Modern web apps now include reams of JavaScript (or TypeScript, CoffeeScript, etc.) to create robust, responsive UIs. But sophisticated code means more surface area to test and debug.

This talk will focus on the dev tools at our disposal to quickly triage issues and find their root causes.
