So why should a developer see your session on video Shlomy? Shlomy Gantz: I think it would be easier to answer the reverse, "Who should not come to your session?" , If your code is PERFECT and your applications have NO BUGS, then this presentation is NOT FOR YOU. If you've ever found yourself in an endless cycle of fixing bugs, sitting at your office at AM with about 15 cans of soda, cold pizza, trying to figure out a nasty shopping cart bug the night before launch, this session might be for you. MS: Hmmm, that has happened to me... so will you help us avoid that in the future? SG: Yes, and I will make you happier and lose 15 pounds in one week. MS: How will you do that? SG: By showing you the tools, code and methodologies you will be able to approach bugs in a more efficient and methodical way. You will be able to plan better and cut down on those late night debugging & pizza sessions (For some reason debugging is always better with pizza). Planning to debug requires very little effort, saves a lot of time, but is rarely done. Having a step by step approach can cut down on the actual time it takes to fix a bug, especially when a looming deadline is near. MS: What kinds of bugs are the hardest to fix? SG: I think that logical bugs are usually the hardest to fix, especially when it involves complex code that might have been written several years ago. You can spend days tracking the logic and trying to figure out why it is not producing the correct result. Second, and very common, are ColdFusion bottlenecks, the ones that make your server come to a screeching halt. Those are particularly hard to Diagnose because of the many layers in which such a bug can exist (OS,JVM,CF,DB etc..) MS: Wow that sounds like cool stuff to know - I will check your session out You can see this session and others from CFUNITED-06 at http://www.cfunited.com/ videos. The first one is free, all 60 hours of video is $649. -- Michael Smith, TeraTech Inc - Tools for Programmers(tm) TeraTech voted Best Consulting Service by CFDJ readers!
