javascript debugging

Hello,

I am trying to debug javascript for the web app builder in Aptana. It won't work for me, nor will the intellisense work.

Entech Engineering,

You can debug though your browsers web console. Aptana intellisense does not work for the JS API in newer releases of Aptana. See this link:

Code School has a free course on how to use Chrome Dev Tools.

Chrome Dev Tools Tutorial - Code School

FireBug and the newer IE11 debug tools are similar, so I think once you learn one, it's fairly easy to transition to others if you need to.

Entech Engineering：

why did you use webstrom? it is suppot the dojo, if you set the path of esri'sdk， it will be a strong intellisense IDE, if you will use webstrom ,i can teach you the use of webstrom
