Introduction to Debugging AJAX Application with Firebug

man firebug needs save changes option

d00d, you talk and move around in your vid way too fast. It's almost impossible to follow along.

pay more attention

No, I was saying what he was using was a debugger. I'll never use the term AJAX or WEB 2.0, I don't try convince people of anything. My youtube rantings are as far as I'll go. These guys need to go to a few acronym annonymous meetings, all the joking aside, though its like calling direct X ACANP.. if you can figure that one out

No, I can't really figure that one out. Javascript is a programming language -- you could use it from the command line, or to control an airplane. Ajax is specifically Javascript in a web browser dealing with asynchronous calls to a web server. There's a reason for the acronym, because there's an important distinction to be made and understood.

my point was that ajax is bullshit. xmlobject request is just another function in javascript, the whole acronym describes networked interactions possible with this "newly"discovered technique and most of what is called ajax does no networking, ie frameworks, drag and drog, etc bahhh..

I think you're being silly. If I told people that I'm doing Javascript programming, I could, for instance, be writing a command-line utility in Javascript. Typical? No, but not completely outlandish. On the other hand, if I say I'm doing Ajax programming, I might be doing it in Java using GWT. If I tell them that I'm doing Ajax programming using Javascript and jQuery, then they have even a better feel for what I'm doing. Words that help people understand what you're doing are a good thing.

I think you're the one being silly. Your whole explanation just exemplifies what I was bringing across. AJAX is nothing new, there is no distinction between normal javascript programming and what they call "AJAX", as in the acronym that popped out of nowhere alongside web 2.0. If you're a web developer you know the mean absolutely nothing except buzzwords to make clients feel like you're doing something extravagant. AJAX is nonsense, people who try to promulgate web 2.0 culture are evil :|

Translation: Idiot on the Internet tries to act cool and elite by rebelling against buzzwords via comments on a YouTube video.

wow..
