Simplify the debugging of Single Page Applications: disable the browser cache

Browsers are really good at caching your data. Most time this is exactly what you need until you are building a Single Page Applications and continuously are changing the used HTML,CSS and JavaScript files.

  • In Internet Explorer:
    • Open the Developer Tools(F12)
