iPhoneDevCamp, Here We Come
A number of Lextech team members will be attending the San Francisco iPhoneDevCamp event and the Chicago satelite gathering this weekend.

Our spots started at 46th in line and that worked out to score us the initial batch of phones we needed to continue our development and testing of iPhone related technologies, especially over 3G.

Useful Tools You May Not Have Vol. 2: Firebug for Web Development
Web development can be… well… a pain sometimes. Especially if you are creating dynamic web pages with Javascript and CSS. Thankfully there are some tools out there to make your life easier. I’ll delve into a tool specific to Firefox called Firebug in this article.
Firebug is a Firefox plugin that can be installed by searching the Tools->Add-ons interface. After installing the plugin and restarting your browser as instructed, you’ll notice a little green icon (or bug) in the bottom right of your Firefox browser. Simply click on it to bring up Firebug and enable it.
