debugging redux (pt. 1)

Two very good posts in the past day - Frans Bouma's '#define debugging testing' and Simon Mourier's 'Debugging process considered harmful'. Both with equally very valid arguments. For this post, I'll mention some readings that'll be beneficial in the debugging process (there's nothing like learning from another person's experience, especially about debbuging). John Robbins' BugSlayer columns in MSDN is a must-read - like the techniques for 'Assertions and Tracing in .NET'. 'Assertion debugging' is a definitive tool in the development process - check out Ch 4 (free download) of Darin Dillon's new book 'Debugging Strategies For .NET Developers '.
