An unwritten law of programming states you will spend 10 percent of your
time on the first 90 percent of a project, and the other 90 percent of
your time on the remaining 10 percent. If this sounds like
any of your projects, you are probably spending that
last 10 percent on debugging and integration. While there are plenty of
books and people to help you start a project, there are far fewer
resources available to help you finish it.
The good news is this chapter focuses completely on debugging and fixing
to get your project out on time. It uses real-world examples to walk
you through the simple steps to debugging and fixing your programs. By
the time you finish, you should be an expert at troubleshooting
programs written in the JavaTM language--applets,
applications, and servlets--of all shapes and sizes.
