Improving Your 2013 Productivity With The Chrome DevTools

The DevTools have evolved over the past year to offer a number of features that can enrich your development workflow, helping you achieve more common tasks without the need to leave your browser.

This session introduces you to some of these features, including Workspaces - a convenient way to create and edit new applications.

We will also look at a better Sass editing workflow, where changes can be made directly to your source files without flipping back and forth with a compiler to generate your CSS.

This will save countless hours of productivity for front-end developers around the world

[WilliamGoulding]

Some really great features. Keep them coming!

It's in Chrome Canary :) Use it via the Settings cog > Workspace

[oinak_]

syntax highlight themes (Twilight) and custom fonts are already avaiable, you can edit dev-tools css or download themes, just search "chrome-developer-tools themes"

[AddyOsmani]

Chrome Canary :) Make sure you have experiments turned on then enable it it via the Settings cog.

I had a guest over at the offices today and they actually thought my name was 'Adios Money'. There are worse names I imagine :p

Chrome DevTools is becoming an IDE for F2E!

You can already theme the dev tools. Go to the devthemez website and choose "chrome developer tools" as your website.

Please consider adding the same functionality you offer for SASS to LESS as well. Thank you.

"Minified" code. So this is the state of play in professional software development, 2013. I should have become a carpenter.

[AddyOsmani]

sure. I can't drop in a link in youtube comments but google for 'cssprettifier-bookmarklet' and it'll come up. It's a small project by Sindre Sorhus and I.

"Hey there. I'm Adios, Money."

I just want the Wix editor (wix.com) as a standalone editor that deploys HTML5 web sites onto my own servers. Where a community of widget inventors release cool building blocks that automate web design. it would be a wildly disruptive thing to happen. And in my dreams it can.

If you want to use the --sourcemap flag in your sass watch command, you need to have a newer version of Sass. At the time of this writing, 3.2.9 is the public release, but you need at least 3.3.0 to run that flag. To update to the current alpha release, enter

gem install sass --pre

at the command line. Then

sass --watch --scss --sourcemap scss:css

will work without the "OptionParser::InvalidOption: invalid option: --sourcemap" error

[WilliamAlvarez]

now add coffee and haml support :D thanks a lot

[milushov]

vim! I need vim mode! Hey, chrome dev tools devs, implement this feature :-)

[Scrollua]

Very nice! I hope you'll add LESS support in the future.

[KushalPandya]

Rename DevTools to IDE, add syntax highlight themes (Twilight) and custom fonts and sizes.

[Gik]

When i execute
sass --compass --sourcemap --watch sass:css or
sass --watch --scss --sourcemap scss:css
I got this error
OptionParser::InvalidOption: invalid option: --sourcemap

dunno why
$ sass -v
Sass 3.3.0.alpha.2 (Bleeding Edge)

I'm on windows 7 64bit. Any idea?

[sergeylukin]

Could you reference to cssprettifier.js you used?
