I just wish there was one standard across the board for mobile devices or that all devices that view the web (mobile or otherwise) conform to these standards so I dont have to have iexplore/firefox/safari/opera/iphone/wap versions of pages to make them look correct.

+1 for where the he** is firebug? If there are any essential tools for web development, firebug has to be near the top of the list.

[...] Then there is ajaxian who has a nice list of tools for ASP.NET developers. Just in case, not everybody can afford to hate and dismiss Microsoft, so it’s nice to see a BLOG with hands-on information for those of us who still plan on delivering to a number of operating systems and web browsers. Aside from covering IE7–related issues and AJAX by-and-large, the ajaxian also covers a lot of good information for those of us who still believe in JavaScript and all the good things it does. [...]

A list of all the browsers that require supporting would be good to scare a few people too! :)

As bob said, FireBug extension is definitely my weapon of choice to understand what’s going on while developing Ajax base web applications.

I think "Power Developer" often doesn't use third part libraries (prototype or scriptacolous are really cool but not indispensable, imho) but creates His "wonderfull" libraries :) ... and a Power Developer should use FireFox with FireBug as Web Developer Toolbar too and maybe other usefull extensions. Finally, I think a JavaScript Power Developer should use a "lightweight-low-level-library" to develop His simple, medium or complex libraries/applications using standard JavaScript 1.6 (at least) code compatible with "every" browser to reduce size of global libraries/scripts and to write code "once for all" using last Array, Function, String or Object proto [spot?] .... then I think JSL should be present on JS list :P (and maybe other "low-level-libs") [/spot]

Come on, he missed the two most essentials tools of all: FireBug and the Web Developer Toolbar…

And it would have been worth mentioning that there is a Web Developer Toolbar for IE as well (even if it is a rip off its useful from time to time) and that the Webkit nightlies now also haved an awesome DOM inspector as well as a JavaScript Debugger.

Let alone at least 10 other useful Firefox extensions, like IEWatch, CSSViewer, LiveHttpHeaders, …

I’m surprised that the JQuery evangelists haven’t jumped on this like a pack of wild dogs. :) Me…. I’m a Prototype/Scriptaculous user myself. I’m coining an easier term to for the pair here “Protaculous”.

I wouldn’t say he did a “nice job”, he forgot FireBug, the most important one of all.
