.NET Debugging Workshop

3 days
DNDebug - Version:3.3
Description
The famous quote goes: "Debugging code is twice as hard as writing it in the first place." Can we prove otherwise? Debugging has become more complicated as new technologies emerged, but the .NET framework and the CLR offer us new debugging capabilities that we have never had before. External tools and extensions augment the built-in debugging capabilities and take us to completely new levels of understanding application behavior, even in a production environment. Realizing the full potential of all these possibilities isn't easy, but practice makes perfect and the exercises sprinkled throughout this three-day course will give participants valuable take-aways for their day jobs.
Intended audience
Experienced .NET programmers and integrators who seek to extend their debugging toolbox with new techniques and practice them first-hand.
