[Scottish] New software tip for web programmers

[Colin McKinnon]

Hi all,

A long time ago someone suggested we have a 'my favourite tool' spot at the 
talks or on email...whatever.

If you develop websites and haven't already heard of it, check out firebug (a 
Firefox extension) - I've ditched my Firefox Web Developer and Tamper Data 
extensions for it. You can also use it for managing the instrumentation in 
your code - see fire php - but its all just HTTP, so you could still use the 
Fire PHP extension if you're working in Java, Perl, Ruby, Python...ASP?

It's changed the 'back' button on Firefox on my works machine (MS Win2k) into 
a (another) 'Crash Now' button, but runs a treat on Linux.
