A great introduction to the awesome debugger Xdebug.
XDebug

Talk at TEK·X (English - US)
This session teaches you how to detect and debug PHP scripts with the free
open source tool Xdebug, which is an extension to PHP. The first part will
quickly show how to get started with Xdebug. The second part of the session
will cover detecting problems in your scripts by showing how Xdebug provides
debugging aides in the form of stack/function traces, dumps of variables,
modified PHP functions. In the last part I will show the remote debugger
capabilities of Xdebug with different IDEs, where you can: set breakpoints on
functions, methods and file/line combinations and evaluating error messages.
On top of this you will also see how you can use Xdebug's profiler to find
bottlenecks in your applications.

Never used XDebug before, but I am going to start. Side note: The tailored installation instructions (http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php) are really cool.
Would have liked to have seen how it integrates with popular IDE's.

Good overview of XDebug. Geared more towards new users or those unfamiliar with the extension, but it was good to see some config options and features that I've overlooked in the past.

Finally XDebug has been explained to me in a way I can grasp and understand! Being able to see remote debugging working live and in real-time was a huge help and something I have never been quite able to figure out on my own. It would have been nice to see it integrating into IDEs other than Komodo, but given the time allowed it was well paced and covered a great amount of useful information.

Excellent overview of a very useful tool.
