Advanced tools used when developing Drupal sites

Client-side developer tools

Most modern web browsers provide a set of developer tools which allow developers to examine communication between the browser and the server, inspect HTML elements and their styles, debug Javascript, execute arbitrary Javascript, and view the DOM information for each HTML element on the page. Common ones include:

Firefox's Firebug
Chrome or Safari's built-in developer tools
Internet Explorer's F12 Developer Tools — built in to newer versions of IE, available as a separate download for older versions.
The Visual Event 2 bookmarklet — displays information about which listeners are attached to

Dependency injection in D8

What is dependency injection?

The Feature and It's Reflection: If you always chase what's hot in the Drupal community, you'll leave your own work behind and end up with nothing.

Ticket Soup: An effective project manage enables positive collaboration by identifying actionable units of work…

The Client in the User's Skin: Don't let your client pretend to be the user. Don't let the user in user stories be "I" or "me"…

The QA Tester and the other Devs: Testers ensure we have to acknowledge reality: QA is our best guard against software decay and run, even when it feels like it impedes progress towards our goes. We had better heed their device.

Define the finish line

Important notes:

The purpose of this list is to help you evaluate which tags to allow guest contributors to your CMS to use, so...

It doesn't list all available elements. Notably, it's missing the tags that deal with text-direction, ruby markings, advanced media tags, form elements, and HTML document structure tags.
It's not designed to be super-detailed or technically-correct. There are really detailed, technically-correct groupings of elements available if you want them.

... so, no hatin' please :)
