Debugging is like being a detective in a crime movie where you're also the murderer.

This video is 4 years old and I've not seen this video . Life could have been so much easier better late than never I guess

[clarinet]

That 4 minutes will save me hours of console logging and rebuilding my application in the future. I never understood how debugger worked because no one took the time to walk me through it. Just awesome. Thank you!

Best video on debug in such a short time rather than so many huge videos

[christianlanoire]

That’s the way to explain, right to the point, you deserve to be well paid :)

[frankcoding]

Cool stuff. I was also working a modern review of debugging with console object in JavaScript :)

[SD-qtfs]

Does this work for Angular Typescript too?

[Stauf]

Wouldn't it be better to just set a breakpoint in the developer tools rather than adding anything into the code to force it? That way you wouldn't have to go back and extract the debugger command later, particularly if you have several of them lying around within the code.

[Dummecook]

That's all good and can be used in someway, but, i think, breakpoint's in devtools are more usable anyway.

this is the future of coders, the best debuggers

[MCSMIK]

Didn’t know about this. Thank you. Will try it out!

This video needs to be on the front cover of any HTML-JS books, lectures and courses, like above the author's name

[SuperWeedPower]

good to know, I was going crazy with console.logs

[aromal_anil]

freeCodeCamp has helped me a lot in my way. And now I have got a new piece of knowledge !

[rajashekhar]

Coverage, performance, animations, sensor in chrome

[TV-vufg]

Thanks for teaching this way and I will use console. log

[JS-ysuk]

Freecode camp reinforces console.log() debugging through their curriculum unfortunately! Should have people using the real debugger from the get-go and should also teach debugging before they get beyond basic javascript!

[ramsay]

A debugger would never have been needed if the project was using TypeScript

[shabblabbat]

Good lord, haven’t ever used a console.log in 15 years, just set a breakpoint. Who’s teaching these codemonkeys these days, philosophy majors?

This video makes no sense, how did the App magically load itself into the browser ? Apparently he started teaching before the video started and he did not realise that the video had not yet started !!! LOL How could you give a tutorial and the most important part of the tutorial was completed before the video even started and why is this so popular ? This is not a tutorial this is just you showing a different way to use the the debugger
