  1. FireBug:

    FireBug is a new tool that aids with debugging Javascript, DHTML, and Ajax. It is like a combination of the Javascript Console, DOM Inspector, and a command line Javascript interpreter.

    Update: Ed Dumbill has a glowing review.

"Enterprise" application development

I scoff every time I hear someone make claims about their framework enabling you to write "enterprise class applications" (via) or some such. As if merely the way you structure your code on one computer will make such a difference in "scaling for the enterprise". As Phil Smoot says, you have to rely on "scale out".

The only frameworks that can legitimately claim to help you write "enterprise applications" are those that help you distribute your app, like, say, Google's MapReduce. In fact, applications that do better at "scaling up" (as opposed to "scaling out", in Smoot's terms) often have less structure, not more. Things like embedding your web server into your kernel and writing everything in C.
