  • 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.
