Software Tracing and Logging

Monday, May 18th, 2009

This is a forthcoming book to be released next year after we finally publish DebugWare book by the end of this summer:

Software Tracing and Logging: Architecture, Design, Implementation and Analysis Patterns (ISBN: 978-1906717728)

I have already begun working on it in the background. The scope of DebugWare book is too wide to cover tracing and logging in great detail not to mention the very important subject of software trace analysis.

Patterns of Computer Memory

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Last weekend I came across this book in a local bookshop:

Patterns Of The Earth

Buy from Amazon

I immediately recalled all beautiful patterns I have seen and collected from visualized computer memory maps. I plan to include many images in a full-color book this summer:

Patterns of Computer Memory (ISBN: 978-1906717711)

This book should be essential for creative computer engineers and inquiring debugging minds!

1000 Blog Posts: T&D Labyrinth

Monday, May 18th, 2009

This post number is 1,000. Wordpress admin panel reports that I have written 999 (excluding this one):

Of course, I wrote my 1,000th blog post some time ago if I count all my 7 blogs but this is 1,000th post for just this blog.

To celebrate this event, I’m posting a picture of troubleshooting and debugging labyrinth resting on a notion of universal memory dumps that are observational snapshots and include both memory and various traces we collect to resolve problems.

 

This picture shows how we arrive to problem resolution. For example:  

I’m also working on another picture, called T&D Tangram :-)
