Talking debugging in the tent at TechEd

  • Article

How big is TechEd? So big that they had to add additional capacity to the conference center here in Barcelona in the form of two vast portable session halls, lovingly referred to as "Tent1" and "Tent2." Yours truly was lucky enough to give his session on Debugging and Crash Dump Analysis in VC++ 2008 in Tent2 today.  I must say, it's the first time I've ever performed under the Big Top, but I hope it's not the last.  The circus life is for me!

I had the audience pose for a picture prior to starting my session.  Check it out:

Nice group, eh? I might add that this was clearly the most intelligent and downright attractive crowd at the conference.

There are tons of hidden gems in the debugger, so I tried to avoid the obvious stuff and focus on some of the power features as well as offer a discussion on how to avoid having bugs in the first place.  I had a good time, and I hope the audience did as well.  I do know at least one member of the audience found it useful; now, I don't read Italian, and I'm never one to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty pleased with Raffaele's assessment of "Magnifica la sessione." :)
