Though targeted for designers, A List Apart offers a good article on debugging JavaScript. The projects at http://tech.lds.org/wiki include several which include an AJAX front-end and Restful Web Services on the back, so having a good understanding of debugging JavaScript is important. Using JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery are very helpful, but it is still important to know how to debug your code at a foundational level.

The Salt Lake ColdFusion Users Group (SLCFUG) is sponsoring a Rich Internet Applications (RIA) conference this Friday, April 4, 2008. If there is still room, you can register here.
You’ll learn about cutting edge Flex, AIR, and AJAX programming. You’ll be readying for the next phase of web development.
More than just theory, sessions are focused on practical application. Three simultaneously running tracks ensure that whether you’re looking for an introduction or hoping to expand existing skills there will be something for you. In addition, we’ve lengthened the time of each presentation slot to allow our speakers to go into greater depth.
I have been very impressed with the demos for Adobe’s RIA technologies. I was hoping to be able to go, but the timing does work for this year. If you are curious who is already using these technologies, head over to FamilySearch Labs and check out a few of their prototypes.
