- New code becomes cheaper, but maintenance remains costly and challenging.
- Bugs are faster, subtler, and harder to catch, making debugging increasingly difficult.
- The book teaches underused browser developer console features and better coding practices to reduce debugging needs.
- Focuses on building exceptional web applications by mastering debugging skills.
- Covers reading stack traces, wrapping risky code, triaging issues, root-cause analysis, and designing gracefully failing systems.
- Explores tracing data through callbacks and promises and implementing smart error monitoring.
- Utilizes familiar Chrome developer tools more effectively.
- Starts with process methodologies and software design principles, then moves to practical techniques like logging and interactive debugging.
- Ends with monitoring and debuggability to raise the quality bar.
- Available in PDF, epub, and mobi formats for $26.95 (USD).
- Beta version available now, final version expected July 2025.
