We will assess these on a case-by-case basis and try to provide the features that will delight developers the most. | We will assess these on a case-by-case basis and try to provide the features that will delight developers the most. | ||
==New and Evolving Tools== | |||
Our biggest news in 2012 is going to be the addition of new tools for page styling, debugging and visualizing how web sites interact with the server. These tools join the Web Console and Scratchpad that were introduced in 2011. Together, these features touch on the most common needs of web developers. | |||
As soon as a feature is "useful", we'll get it out to web developers. But, that's not the end of the story. The Mozilla community will continue to iterate on these tools with improvements at each release. | |||
Examples of improvements that will show up over the course of the year: | |||
* Integrated user interface with a command line that provides quick access to features | |||
* HTML document manipulation | |||
* autocompletion of CSS properties and values | |||
* a web developer-oriented color picker | |||
* a 3D view of web page structure | |||
* features that help users spot errors in their code more quickly | |||
* Scratchpad improvements that make it quicker to navigate and run JavaScript | |||
* ability for the user to view the changes they made using the tools, to help them modify their source code | |||
Though we're introducing many new tools in 2012, by the end of 2012 most will have moved well beyond a "1.0" state. | |||
