I show how to use the ESTK debugger in the = first classes of this Beginner Scripting course:
https://www.fxphd.com/details/516/
and= more in class 7 of this Advanced Scripting for Ae
https://www.fxphd.com/details/539/
For code development I also prefer = Atom instead of ESTK (and show in the training how to configure Atom for = that task).
