1. Debugging: Good Practices to minimize the need for debugging: Video [12:07]
   • Being more adept at debugging (i.e., fixing errors in your programs) will be important for Exam 1 and beyond. The above video contains examples from topics that we have not yet discussed, but the debugging concepts apply to the work that you have done already. Focus on the debugging concepts and not on the specifics of the examples.
   • For reference, here is an OPTIONAL PowerPoint slide version of the Good Practices video. If you choose to view these slides, download and run this PowerPoint as a Slide Show, since it has animations.
   • This and all remaining items in this Videos/Reading section have a quiz associated with them on Moodle.
