Hi, In this video : http://teamtreehouse.com/library/introduction-to-programming/basics/writing-your-program Jim Hoskins talks (at around 2:06) about courses that could be important to follow before continuing : "see our other videos about programming in the browser".
Chrome developer tools seem really powerful but I can't find any course on this topic.
Anybody found these videos he is referring too ? Thanks, Adrien

Code School also has a good course on the Chrome Dev Tools as well.

Right now we're worrying more about learning about how programming works than we are about doing specific things on the webpage. For more information about that, see our other videos about programming in the browser.
Given that I'd say he'd referring to the various HTML & CSS courses that teach you how to do "specific thing on a webpage".
Also if memory serves the Intro to Programming course was made a year or more before the Chrome Dev Tools course so it doesn't seem likely that's what Jim is referring to in this case.

8,127 PointsHello again,
Interesting Nick lesson . I learned a lot. Nick as usual very clear although we need to get our hands on it and take time to play with this powerful toolset. One note though: since Nick course the devtools panels have changed and will probably change again and again in the future so no worries, going to developers forums to find answers is no big trouble.
I want to share a trivial information here. I don't know why and how but during my exercises the Elements panel stopped functioning properly : only the Doctype line showed and nothing else. So no DOM tree available. Refresh, hard refresh, nothing worked. I tried many things, tried stackoverflow, googling, forums, chrome devtool site etc. One post though stated to try refresh but this works only for the html index page appearing in the Resources panel. Elements panel... nope.
So finally tired of it, I downloaded chrome, reinstalled it and everything is working fine again. So if stuck and if possible without damage to your setup, when blocked with an Element panel behaving like a spoiled child, just press the download button and reinstall Chrome. Basic I know, but it can help other newbies like me.
I'll be starting the Codeschool Chrome Dev Tools course soon too. One bit of advice for students like me in China using VPN, the Codeschool videos won't show, so download it :) it's the only way.
