Do you do anything associated with the development of web pages?

If so, you need the FireBug extension for FireFox.

I’ve been using this thing like crazy lately. It’s teh awesome.

You should get ColdFire add-on to it for ColdFusion debugging. I did find one problem with it where it didn’t display all the templates processed so I had to revert back to normal debugging but I’m sure it can be tweak in the coldfire.cfm file itself.

Let me ax a stoopid question: what should someone who is interested in getting in on the ground floor of web development get into?

Okay…it’s me. I don’t know what the frig is what, but I had some nice programming experience in high school. What book or program should I pick up to get into the game? I just want the entry into the world, and then I can find my way from there.

3 words: Ruby on Rails
Actually, I don’t know if that’s a great answer for a n00b… Still, I’d say get the _Agile Web Development on Rails_ book and see if it makes any sense.

Before that, though, you should want to learn some basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can actually do a lot of fun stuff with just those three. Once you grok what’s going on, you can move over to the backend stuff with a dynamic scripting language and databases.
