Glimpse is a free diagnostics tool for web developers that shows you what’s happening on your server, right from your web app. It’s like Firebug for the server.

In this video, Anthony van der Hoorn, Co-Founder of Glimpse, sits down with SSW’s Damian Brady to talk about why developers should use Glimpse to make the debugging process simpler.

We take a look at Glimpse in action using an example project in Visual Studio. We talk about some of Glimpses awesome features, how you can extend for your own project, and what’s coming in the future.
