Summary
Tired of debugging your code by randomly sprinkling print statements throughout your code? In this course we will learn the basics of debugging with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Setting breakpoints, stepping through code, inspecting variables, and evaluating expressions. We exercise these techniques on small code examples from the Python language. Afterwards, we will cover other languages and more complex debugging scenarios. We use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) as our IDE, but the taught concepts translate naturally to other IDEs.
Learning Objectives

- Run debug sessions in VSCode
- Know basic concepts of debuggers
- Understand some more complex debugging scenarios
