Below is a list of tools that make developing with jQuery a lot easier, and they’ll be referred to throughout the posts on this site.

• Firefox
• Firebug – this is our test console and helps us debug
• jQuery Bookmarklet – drag to your toolbar to inject jQuery in to any page
• JS Bin – live collaborative JavaScript debugging with jQuery support
• Cross browser debugging tools – my screencast on the debugging tool options

It’s not much, but that’s about all you need.
