In this quick video, we'll see how we can take advantage of a third-party application in order to debug WordPress applications using IDEs that don't have built-in debuggers.

For more information about the applications that were covered in this tutorial, check out the following links:

• Coda
• Codebug

Other IDEs that are mentioned are Sublime Text, Atom, Emacs, and Vim. Furthermore, if you're interested in IDEs that do offer built-in debugging, check out PhpStorm.
