About this book

Debugging Strategies for .NET Developers is a highly readable exploration of debugging with Microsoft .NET. While many other debugging books focus on obscure techniques for advanced users, this book is packed with real-world examples—designed for real-world developers—that convey specific techniques in concert with overall debugging strategies.

This book teaches you how to think in terms of debugging with Microsoft .NET. Author Darin Dillon describes debugging concepts, such as assertions and logging, and follows each discussion with first-hand accounts of using these strategies to solve real-world bugs. The book will not only provide you with the techniques, but it will make you a master at recognizing when and how the techniques need to be applied.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"What the book is very much about is a broad, almost philosophical, approach to the activity of debugging in general. … as such it would be a tonic to any jaded programmer struggling with a project. … this was a good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I picked up a few hints and tips on the way, but its real value was in making me tackle the debugging task with a whole new enthusiasm." (Harry Fairhead, Visual Systems Journal, June, 2003)
