I gave a talk [yesterday](http://www.meetup.com/wrocnet/events/138787702/). It was
|
||
|
|
on
|
||
|
|
[debuggers](https://prezi.com/hzvnsznfkgwj/anatomy-of-the-debugger/).
|
||
|
|
From VM-level debuggers to JTAG, quite a packed, high level overview. In
|
||
|
|
fact I gave it
|
||
|
|
[before](http://www.meetup.com/KGD-NET/events/113593522/) on another
|
||
|
|
occasions. And this time was different, hence this post. The thing I am
|
||
|
|
particularly proud of is that I was able to entertain the crowd for the
|
||
|
|
first half of an hour despite not having any computer launched and
|
||
|
|
connected. You know, like, interacting with actual people ! We had some
|
||
|
|
difficulties connecting to a beamer so I thought it'd be good to have an
|
||
|
|
open discussion first. We've started with "unit tests vs debuggers". Is
|
||
|
|
having a rock solid unit tests suite enough for you to never touch a
|
||
|
|
debugger ? After some time I've transitioned to my presentation, talked
|
||
|
|
a bit about the history of debugging, then what are the features of
|
||
|
|
modern debuggers and finally how all of these work. And while we're at
|
||
|
|
it I would like to give a shout out to the organizers of these 2 events.
|
||
|
|
Thanks !
