Whoa, great to see you again! Hope you had fun catching up with the history of web technologies, and the benefits of Progressive Web Applications. To end off these reviews, we have our last speaker, who gave us many tips on using Chrome and Chrome Canary Dev Tools.

Talk #3: Building a Better Website with Chrome Dev Tools

Last but not the least of CDS — source: GDG Singapore Youtube Channel

Rounding up the event’s talks, we have Henry Lim, a Google Developer Expert on Web Technologies, who brought us many tips with using Chrome Dev Tools. This includes several new and nifty content that is still being tested on Chrome Canary, a canary based build of Chrome before official releases.

The first and perhaps the most interesting nugget of knowledge he shared, was that Chrome Dev Tools was an open-sourced project, and runs as a web application. It was interesting to see that we could actually run launch a dev tools application from a web page, and “recursively” launch a separate dev tools application to debug the original dev tools application 😱 .
