Debugging

Be familiar with:

• breakpoints
• watching variables
• stepping through code
• REPL

In a Web Browser

• Open a site with JavaScript, like the namespaces example.
• Press F12, Control + Shift + I, or something similar.
• In the opened devtools, click on the "Debugging" tab.
• Step through code once it reaches a break point and watch variables.

In Node.js

• Open a terminal in workflow/example-node.
• Open Chrome
• Press F12
• node --inspect index.js
• Click on the Node.js icon that appears in Chrome's devtools

A command line debugger is built-in.

You can also try node-inspector, but it's old.
