How to Debug a Program when the Output Looks Right // One of the most problematic error case for beginners is when your program output looks perfect — just like your instructor said it should look. But, it's wrong. It's not working correctly or maybe it's failing autograder tests. This video gives you some tips for how to figure out what might be wrong.


***

Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.


About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
