On July 25, 2024, we hosted our IntelliJ IDEA Livestream episode with Shai Almog, where we will delve into the capabilities of the debugger.
Session abstract
Most of us didn’t learn debugging in university and just “picked it up on the job”. That is shocking for such a crucial skill, even if testing debugging knowledge is known to be challenging. However, it’s never too late to learn how to use these underutilized debugger capabilities that many developers don’t know about:
Object marking
Tracepoints
Memory tracing
Jump to line
Renderers
And more
Asking questions
Shai will try to answer all of your questions during the session. If we run out of time, we’ll publish the answers to any remaining questions in a follow-up blog post.
