Debugging Program Control Flow
Control flow is much more than step over. You can "jump" to arbitrary code offsets while debugging to reproduce elaborate states and behaviors!
Watch And Evaluate
The debugger watch area is a powerful tool, it's worthy of two lessons in the course. If you don't know about Object Marking you need to see this!
The Massive Hidden Power of Breakpoints
Learn about tracepoints (AKA logpoints) how exception breakpoints don't have to suck, watchpoints, filters & why method breakpoints are problematic.
Debugging Streams and Collections
Java 8 streams improved code readability they also provide great debugging opportunities. There are amazing tools for inspecting collections & arrays.
Watch Area and Renderers
Stop digging through variables in the watch to find nuggets of gold, or rerunning the expression evaluation. Use entity renderers instead.
